Black Dog by Levi Pinfold

4.0

Visually, there is a lot to look at. Little hidden gems to search for and discuss (I particularly liked the green octopus who can be found on most of the pages set inside the house), including some nods to modern children: toys included AdventureTime, Totoro, Lego etc. The lone Jaffa cake on a pile of papers and the Battenberg left on a plate on the floor mixed in with drawings on cupboards and toys all over the place gave the book a very lived-in family feel, while the over the top reactions from the adults made it definitely feel like a humorous children’s book.
