Pitzer, Susanna. Not Afraid of Dogs. Illustrated by Larry Day. Walker & Company, 2006. ISBN 0-8027-8067-6 $16.95. Ages 4-8.
Pitzer once again uses a dog as one of the characters in thisbook. Brave little Daniel isn’t afraid of anything, even dogs.His struggle with fearing nothing and facing the adorable but“scary” dog Bandit definitely brings together a cute story. Theuse of both cool and warm colors throughout the book fit nicelyas the story progresses. Pitzer uses warm colored clothing andsurroundings with the daytime and transitions to cool colors asthe book enters nighttime. On top of that, the real life back andforth comments between the brother and sister draws the readerinto this story, and creates a very believable, everyday family.
