Black Dog

Product Information

We see in this book the black dog pursuing the child, willing to follow her through all manner of obstacles. Beautifully illustrated, a delight to roam around the details of each scene and a really nice story too - I don't want to give a lame summary but it was a very pleasing metaphor for how your fears can distort reality but how this can be overcome by facing them.

With its frosty cover and thick pages, it could be a cherished favorite in anyone's home, to be experienced time after time. As this is a book aimed at small children I wasn't sure this was an altogether good message, there's a massive dog that everyone is scared of so you could be seen as a hero to go and make friends with it?

Questo libro parla di paura e di apparenza, di inganni,di come le difficoltà non faranno altro che crescere e ingigantirsi sempre di più se non vengono affrontate né conosciute, ma parla anche di amore, di coraggio e di affetto.

The visually stunning illustrations which accompany the text also help reinforce the metaphor and invite high levels of inference from the children. This endearing and engaging picture book about growing up is told with gentle humour and illustrated with a blend of painting and photography by 2011 Best New Illustrator, Viviane Schwarz. Wonderful story about how fear can cause something to grow out of proportion and about confronting fears. A little green toy octopus, assorted cats, little figurines also looking scared, and carved toy owls are a few of the objects strewn about and peeking around corners. At the age of seven, Levi went to watercolour classes where he was introduced to the medium that he still works in.
