A dryly funny new picture book about a lap dog with a wild inner life, from multi-award-winning author-illustrator Tohby Riddle.
Cynthia is a wild dog. She hunts anything that moves ... She scavenges for food … She'll even eat ice-cream if she has to.
Perfect for readers 4 and up who like their humour wry and dry – think Mac Barnett & Jon Klassen’s The Wolf, the Duck and the Mouse and Jory John & Lane Smith’s Penguin Problems.
Tohby Riddle is the creator of numerous well-loved and award-winning picture books that have been published in many languages around the world. For his contribution to children's literature he was nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 2022. His picture books include Nobody Owns the Moon, My Uncle's Donkey, Yahoo Creek, The Singing Hat, Unforgotten, The Great Escape from City Zoo, Here Comes Stinkbug! and The March of the Ants (in collaboration with 2020–21 Australian Children's Laureate, Ursula Dubosarsky). Other books include the best-selling The Greatest Gatsby: a visual book of grammar, and two cartoon collections. Tohby's books are noted for their inventive artwork techniques, their humour and depth of meaning, and their quality and originality.
