Age 3+ years.
A warm, reassuring story about coping with the strangeness of unfamiliar situations.
Little Dog doesn't like going to Great Aunt M's house. It's unfamiliar and a bit intimidating. Big Dog isn't much help, either. He won't hold Little Dog's hand because he says it's soppy. Little Dog's fears are embodied by the 'hairies' and he's convinced that they have stolen his beloved Froggie. Little Dog has to face up to his fears (and confront the hairies) in order to be reunited with Froggie. It's only by being brave that Little Dog discovers the hairies are not at all scary and that they just want to be his friend.
Features
Very appealing central character, young children will empathise with Little Dog.
Little Dog really develops as a character through the story, from a shy younger sibling lacking in confidence to a hero.
Features the lovable hairies-monsters that are not threatening.
Monsters have a great track record in picture books - notably Where the Wild Things Are and The Gruffalo.
Created by an award winning author/illustrator duo.
