Snow Dog
Illustrated by Sami Sweeten
(Corgi Pups)
64pp, 978-0552547031, RRP £3.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Girl wants dog more than anything else, but cannot have one. Sounds familiar? Blackman tells the story of how Nicky is able to have a most unusual dog with the help of Granddad, in such a way that even adults jaded by such stories in the past will enjoy the tale greatly. Blackman's perceptions of the world of children and their emotions are as true to form as ever, and the illustrations by Sweeten help to make the story one that children will enjoy.
