Everybody loves books about dogs. But you’ve never seen one like this before. It will bring great joy to children and their parents, and also... future translators.

It’s an awesome invitation to some intelligent fun, and also to develop empathy and linguistic creativity. You won’t find a boring list of breeds here – they don’t interest the authors at all – but over a hundred marvellous, dynamic canine portraits, each of which evokes emotions: most often laughter, but also astonishment, and occasionally even terror… For the authors – clearly dog lovers – focus on the most important thing: the individuality of each dog and the bond that connects it with human beings. And that individuality and bond are best expressed by the name the owner gave their dog, for in naming we somehow create something. The chosen name says a great deal about the dog, but even more about its owner.

Any lucky people planning to invite a dog into their family and would like to prepare for its arrival will benefit from reading this book. But it will also be attractive to people who simply want to enjoy reading a graphically stunning and witty book with their children.

Iwona Haberny, translated by Kate Webster
