From my sales conference notes: design/style early Paul Zelinsky, "Best book of the season" -- UK review. The smallest member of the house is fearless facing the giant black dog outside. An interesting fable for reducing fear to a manageable perspective.
Black Dog is a book that teeters just on the edge of being too allegorical, but something saves it. The beautiful illustrations? The sheer weirdness of it all? Not sure, but I like.
