Black Dog

(2) K-3 The Hope family sees a big black dog out the window; with each sighting the dog grows in size and fearsomeness until it's larger than the house. It falls to the family's youngest member, little Small, to address the problem. The traditional feel of the cumulative telling and the art's surreal precision offer a curious metaphorical consideration of what it takes to conquer fears.
