This Book Just Ate My Dog
This Book Just Ate My Dog | Richard Byrne
3 posts | 6 read
In this wonderfully inventive book, Bella is taking her dog for a stroll across the page but halfway across, he disappears! Unable to quite believe what's just happened Bella watches, transfixed, with changing emotions of surprise, indignation, moments of renewed hope (as the authorities arrive to take control) followed by shock (as they too succumb to the book's inexplicable behaviour) and finally action when Bella marches towards the dangerous middle of the book . . . only to disappear herself! At this point, the book has consumed its characters and it's down to the reader to step in to help. A note from Bella appears directly appealing for assistance and, with a rigorous shake, the characters reappear. Normality is restored and Bella is finally able to take her dog for an uninterrupted walk . . . or is she?!

Clever. Excellent use of the space and art, and it‘s pretty funny, too. Really sensitive kiddos might be a bit bothered that everything is not exactly perfect at the end, though. Just a heads up. I know this would have upset one of my daughters when she was younger. Most kids will think it is hilarious, though.

This is NOT a misprint or binding error. What do you call a book where the characters interact with the actual book? Is this the 4th Wall for kids? (Cute book, by the way!)

This book was so cute! And a great interactive read if you are one on one with a child.
