A dog is your friend, protector, your co-adventurer - and he understands you better than anyone. That is the message of countless children's books, whether "The Little Lord" or "5 Friends". For some authors it is also important today to convey the correct attitude and respect for the animal. Maybe if you are too close, you will sometimes forget that the dog is an animal. Strangely enough, children who are afraid of dogs are rarely read.
These four books for children from 4 to 14 years have very surprising perspectives: Sometimes the four-legged friend is borrowed or stolen, sometimes he is wise and sometimes he himself needs a lot of attention.
Lisa wants a dog
Here is something about NO dog. After all, there are many reasons not to buy one (vacation, money, black bags). A picture book with a lot of dogs on the cover and an elegant solution to the problem - maybe even some families can help with this question ("A dog or none?")?
What's going on here? Lisa does n't want a dog, she wants one. Always. But no. Your parents stay with it. Nobody comes into the house. Fortunately, Lisa is smart and has an idea how to get an animal.

Oscar and the kidnappers
Dog Oskar, a cozy family dog, tells in person how he and two other animals fall victim to a vile kidnapping. Because the two kidnappers are not the brightest candles in the candlestick, they can not get it on the chain with the ransom demands - luck! The story is told in a funny and lively way and comes with many colorful illustrations. When Oskar raves about his mistress Klara, every child's heart will open.
What's going on here? Oskar has a great dog life with his Klara and her family. When he is waiting for her in front of a shop, he is kidnapped. Oskar just wanted to get the sausages from the trunk - but the door was already closed. What now?

Happiness for all skins
Mr. Travish, a pedigree dog consisting of six different breeds and a shot of Tibetan Spaniel, is adopted by a chaotic family. He quickly sees what this family needs: structure.
An easy story about normal family life, in which adults get their fat off. In addition, the author provides understandable instructions on how to keep dogs in the form of a strict animal shelter boss who checks the family at home (is there really such a thing?).
What's going on here? With the Peachy family, the house blessing is crooked: mom is tired of taking care of everything and only does yoga. Papa lets himself go, the laundry piles up, the children go to neglect. Luckily, the youngest child, Betty, is a smart girl and takes a dog out of the shelter. Together with him, she gets the family back on track.
Best time to read: after the Sunday roast.
Recommended age : from 8 years.

The dog that lost its bark
This story starts so sad that I almost wanted to stop reading it. Those who read on will be rewarded with an atmospheric and funny story about the friendship between a small (very cute) dog and a boy; framed by an exceptionally large number of beautiful pencil illustrations.

Life is sometimes sad, even children know it. They may think back to this story when they have a hard time and can console themselves with the thought that everything will always be fine in the end.
What's going on here? A distraught puppy is taken in by a boy who picks him up with a lot of patience. But the boy also has grief because his father is about to leave the family. So the two give each other support and find detours from sadness and new zest for life. The two take turns telling their point of view. Through the dog perspective you learn a lot about dogs and how to lead them.
Best reading time: at the reading hour.
Recommended age : from 8 years, preferably older.
