The Dog Walk
by Sven Nordqvist
A boy takes a dog for a walk through magical realms in this wordless seek-and-find book. The illustrations are an intricate delight for both children and their helpers, while finding the boy—in his red baseball cap—and his fluffy white dog remains an age-appropriate challenge. In the spirit of scavenger-hunt books, the illustrations are busy—a cluttered curio shop; an underwater playroom—but a fantastical twist makes this title a unique addition to the genre.
