10 Dogs

Emily Gravett’s picture books about animals are a feast of elegance and fun - The New Statesman

Gravett returns with her deliciously different dogs in this clever counting book where ten greedy pooches, from dotty ­Dalmatians to lovable lurchers, fail to share out ten sausages fairly — with chaotic consequences. Children love the expressions and energy while also learning a valuable lesson about addition. Fabulous fun.Sally Morris, The Daily Mail

Gravett’s illustrations have all the liveliness, humour and quality that we expect. Her dogs fill each double spread, bouncing off the pages, every line full of energy and clarity. Her colour palette, here quite limited, adds interesting texture and ensures the illustrations really do pop. As always every detail has been considered from the front cover where we see those enticing sausages to the final back cover where nothing remains but some greasy marks and crumbs, to the expressions of each dog. This is a joyful addition to any collection – fun to read, fun to use. Excellent.Ferelith Hordon, Books for Keeps

Bursting with energy and joie de vivre... with a simple but imaginative and educational text, and a stunning gallery of dogs that will have all the family barking mad with joy, 10 Dogs is a feast of counting, colour, comic detail and cute canines. The perfect gift for your own little pups!Lancashire Post
