Lily takes a Walk by Satoshi Kitamura

Lily takes a Walk by Satoshi Kitamura

When Lily takes a walk with her dog Nicky, she notices many lovely things. But poor Nicky only sees monsters lurking at every turn... By interpreting the pictures, the reader can understand that Nicky's fears are only imaginary. This funny and gently scary picture book was originally published in the 1980s and has now become a classic. The clever concept and humour will delight both children and their parents, and help little ones to conquer their nightmares.

'A perfect introduction to childhood fearsIt provides an opportunity for children to discuss the things that frighten them at home, in school or when they are out and about, just like Nicky. And hopefully, gain some much-needed reassurance from children like Lily.' Just Imagine;'The juxtaposition of child and dog's divergent perceptions of the same journey taken together is done with Kitamura's genius mix of the real and surreal; thus making this book an experience to savour and return to for several further excursions.' Red Reading Hub;'An ideal picture book to spark discussion and hone prediction and inference skills with younger children. A beautifully produced reissue of the 1980s classic.' School Reading List; 'Satoshi's distinctive colourful style matches with an engaging tale that will want to be read more than ones. I wish we all lived in the world Lily lives in - so long as there are companions like Nicky to keep us safe!' Nayu's Reading Corner Blog;'Delightful and imaginative, this book will have children looking differently at their pets and their walks home!' My Shelves are Full;'Filled with visual humour and irony as she takes a rather uneventful walk, or so she thinks. As always, Kitamura's humour is ever prevalent and his signature surprise ending doesn't disappoint.' Book Gift Blogger; 'A funny adventure with a dog and an over-active imagination.' Creative Steps Magazine;'There is enough horror to thrill but hopefully not to prompt nightmares and this book would provide an opening to discuss irrational fears with children. Parents may of course remember this story from their own childhood which adds an extra level to the sharing and understanding of this classic picture book from a much celebrated illustrator.'
