Winner of the Newbery Honor: the delightful tale of a wandering
good samaritan dog, by the author of Shrek! Dominic has decided it
is time for a change. So he 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 disaster strikes: he
encounters the dreaded Doomsday Gang. But Dominic is not one to
complain - and nor is he one to lose a fight. As legend of his
victory over the villains spreads, more and more creatures turn to
him for help: a 158-year-old turtle, a heartbroken wild boar, and a
family of grateful geese all encounter Dominic's heroism and
generosity. But his trials are far from over: the Doomsday Gang is
alive and kicking, and how can one young dog face a mob of
hooligans alone? "Steig's books are like perfect smooth stones,
complete in themselves, with no seams to be found... he always has
the skill to bring together what seems to be a lot of
spur-of-the-moment choices and make them into stories that land so
perfectly and satisfyingly and feel so inevitable in their endings"
- Jon Klassen, author of This Is Not My Hat
