Description

He came over the pastures like a mean thunderstorm... fast as lightening was the dirty dog. All of the animals of the valley lived in peace and harmony until the big greedy dog appeared. He was so greedy that he gobbled up everything he could see! Happily for our animal friends, there was plenty of room for them all to live and play in the dog's big bad belly. Perhaps it's not so great to be the biggest and baddest animal in the valley after all...

Reviews

This second picture book by the incredibly gifted Sandra Dieckmann reads like a myth from an ancient culture (...) Dieckmann's sublime illustration is full of sunshine. -- BookTrust
The themes here are really strong and teach your child that even in dark times there are friends and good people who will pull you (and humanity) through. * Ivy's Library *
