Overview / 简介: |
Introducing Korky—the loveable, huggable, and ever so snug-able puppy created by first-time children’s book illustrator Cristiano Sorrentino. He’s the puppy of every kid’s dreams, inspired by Cristiano’s own pet: mischievously chasing toys, chewing shoes, and making a mess. (That’s what Korky does best.) Of course, he’s also tops at kissing the nose of his young owner when the boy feels sad.
Big, bright pictures capture the adorably roly-poly pup playing with a ball, surrounded by soft toys, rainbow-covered in paint, and—best of all—in his best friend’s arms getting a nice, warm hug.
Kids will read this wonderful tale of mischief and puppy love again and again.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreS—With just the bare minimum of a rhyming text, this book describes the antics of a playful puppy. The large, exuberant illustrations, all primary colors and simple bold lines, are the main draw. Korky is delightfully over-the-top, with a nose like Snoopy's and a body like Tintin's Snowy. Full-page paintings show him reveling in all aspects of puppyhood, from catching Frisbees to rolling on the ground to comforting his young owner. Halfway through the book the rhythm is awkwardly broken, reinforcing the notion that this is a title in which the pictures dominate. The words just get in the way. Pair it with Blackstone and Mockford's Cleo the Cat (Barefoot, 2000), which stars a feline who is as colorful and energetic as Korky.—Kara Schaff Dean, Walpole Public Library, MA
