Badly Drawn Dog by Emma Dodson

Badly Drawn Dog by Emma Dodson

Badly drawn dog is fed up with his looks, so he decides to visit his friend, Doodle the Poodle. But on the way, he sees an artist's studio and here -- the fun begins. The artist rubs him out -- legs, head, even sketchy eyebrows, and starts again. The results are hilarious: the first style which the artist uses is cubist. Looks good -- but on his way to Doodle the Poodle's house, Badly Drawn Dog finds that walking in a straight line is just impossible -- never mind playing football. Pop art and post impressionist follow. Finally of course, Badly Drawn Dog goes back to his friend -- the child who drew him in the first place. Boy! is he glad to be back to normal. This book will make children laugh out loud. In addition, it demonstrates different art styles with admirable simplicity.

A lesson in looks not being everything for smalls aged three or four-- Newbury Weekly News 'But does Badly Drawn Dog just want to blend into the crowd? As all good friends should Doodle Poodle points out that being true to yourself is what counts... Background references to other art styles provide a creative context for this affirmative story about self-belief.' -- The Guardian Witty and clever celebration of individuality and art. -- Bournemouth Daily Echo 20050325 A funny and highly original debut picture book from a brand new talent. -- Reading Evening Post 20050325
