Black Dog
(1 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Templar Publishing
A black dog appears outside the Hope family's home. As each member of the household sees it and hides, the dog grows bigger and bigger. Only Small, the youngest Hope, has the courage to face the Black Dog. When it chases her through the forest she shows no fear, so it grows smaller and smaller. Finally, back to the size of a normal hound, the Black Dog is welcomed into the Hope household as their newest addition.
Former Best New Illustrator Levi Pinfold's beautiful, stylised illustrations work to great effect in this stunning picture book about the nature of fear and the power of our imaginations.

This book is epic. It might be for 7+ but i wonder how Levi makes the blurb looks like it is frosty. I love the double page spread of the giant blackdog. : ) I would recommend Black Dog and award it with five stars. *****
