Rambunctious Big Dog can hardly contain his excitement as he and his family head off on a camping trip whilst the newest family member, Little Dog watches his every move.
Big Dog’s exuberance spills out from the high-energy mixed media illustrations, many of which feature humorous sequences playfully juxtaposed against the text. Design elements have been carefully considered, with good use of white space to counterbalance the high energy antics of the dogs. The endpapers visually lead the reader into and out of the narrative and match the high energy mood and movements, as does the title page. A warm take on acceptance, challenges, celebrating individuals and finding one’s place in a family.
