'Timeless... a genuine classic' The School Librarian
'Steig's books are like perfect smooth stones, complete in themselves, with no seams to be found' Jon Klassen, author of This Is Not My Hat
Dominic has decided it is time for a change. So, the young dog packs up his hats and his piccolo and sets off into the unknown. But no sooner does he feel the air on his snout and the grass beneath his paws, than he encounters the dreaded Doomsday Gang. Fortunately, Dominic is not one to complain - and nor is he one to lose a fight!
As word of his victory over the criminals spreads, more and more animals turn to him for help, including a 158-year-old turtle, a heartbroken wild boar and a family of geese. But can one brave dog face the Doomsday Gang alone?
Part of the new Pushkin Children's Classics series of thrilling, magical and inspiring stories from around the world, which young readers will return to time and again.
William Steig (1907-2003) was an American cartoonist, sculptor and illustrator, and writer of children's books. He was also the creator of Shrek!, which inspired the film series of the same name. He was the U.S. nominee for both the biennial international Hans Christian Andersen Awards, as a children's book illustrator in 1982 and a writer in 1988.
