( ) I love dog books! Give me Harry the Dirty Dog any day! Well I liked this. Sweet text heavy story and sweet small illustrations. I think I’d have loved it when I was a kid. But reading it now as an adult (and I don’t remember reading it when I was young or having it read to me) I didn’t feel enchanted. The way the invisible dog became visible seemed odd to me and I really liked the illustrations and I’m sure I’d have liked the story when I was young. I liked the story but not that much. Some of my GR friends have really liked this. Off to read/reread some more reviews… 3-1/2 stars Read on Open Library. Having explored the feline world in her iconic fairy-tale Millions of Cats, Newbery and Caldecott honoree Wanda Gág turns to the world of dogs in this charming story of "Nothing At All." Although just as much a puppy as his two brothers, Pointy and Curly, Nothing At All is invisible, which leads to problems when a little boy and girl arrive at the dogs' long-forgotten kennel (on a long-forgotten farm) and adopt Pointy and Curly, promising them all manner of wonderful things, but leave Nothing At All behind. Determined to rejoin his brothers and to have a home as well, Nothing At All follows the advice of a helpful jackdaw, who gives him a magical spell that will make him visible. Originally published in 1941, and chosen as a Caldecott Honor Book in 1942 - the other titles chosen that year include An American ABC, Paddle-to-the-Sea and In My Mother's House - Gág's delightful book joins the classic orphaned/abandoned animal story to one involving a magical quest, producing something that feels very much like an original fairy-tale. Her illustrations, done in lithographs that have been colored in, are simply adorable, capturing all the charm of the little puppies. I particularly liked the fact that the dogs' individual kennels reflected their ear shape, which was in turn reflected in their names. Nothing At All is just a sweet little tale, one I would recommend to young dog lovers, to fairy-tale enthusiasts, and to fans of Wanda Gág's artwork. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
