Product Description

A timeless tale of friendship by New York Times bestselling author Amy Hest.

Once there was a small dog with

crooked ears. He belonged to no one.

And once there was a wisp of a girl

named Lia. . . .

The dog who belonged to no one spent

his days quite alone. . . . He longed for a friend.

No one takes notice of a small dog with crooked ears who doesn’t have a home. He explores the narrow streets and wide boulevards every day, while across town a little girl named Lia pedals on her bicycle alone, delivering breads and cakes. Both dream of finding a friend, until fate brings them together.

With lyrical text by New York Times bestselling author Amy Hest and tender watercolors by illustrator Amy Bates, The Dog Who Belonged to No One introduces readers to two timeless characters who will touch hearts as they discover how they belong to each other.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful in its Simplicity   September 12, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Right away this new release popped out at me from the shelves of the children's book section at my local bookstore and gave a very emotive first impression.

It's artwork: wonderfully expressive pencil illustration by Amy Bates, washed with active yet gentle watercolors matching the hues of the autumn season.

The story: A simple storyline about loneliness and friendship that follows the daily, solitary lives of a little stray dog and a little girl and how they find each other.

The cute pup goes to sleep each night and dreams of having a warm house with a yard and, more importantly, a friend. The girl, who works for her parents in the family bakery, spends her days delivering bread and making up stories to ease her loneliness (this is my personal favorite touch in the storyline).

Each point of view is told simultaneously and keeps it short and sweet, although, to be honest, each piece of moving artwork tells the story just fine all on it's own.

A nice addition to any storybook collection, not to mention anyone who is an admirer of watercolors.



(On a side note: Although the story doesn't exactly touch on it - and it maybe it need not be said - it can also remind the reader that you can find a wonderful companion at your local rescue or animal shelter...)
