Reviews / Votes
A delightful book about a brave dog with a wild imagination. * @JensLittleOwls * Kiko's artwork is brimming with energy, its graphic-novel-inspired compositions lending momentum to Patch's wild storytelling. There's a touch of TinTin in the way the illustrations embrace movement, colour, and a cinematic sense of framing, reinforcing the thrill of discovery at every turn. The visual storytelling expertly shifts between Patch's imagined feats and his more modest reality, inviting readers to delight in the unreliable narration of a dog who dreams BIG. -- Mat Tobin * Books for Keeps * A charming little dog who has one of the biggest imaginations I have ever come across! I hope his will become a bedtime story for the ages... * Armadillo Postbag Picks * A charming and imaginative adventure that will captivate young readers. * Shelf Editions *More details
