Inhaltsangabe


A warm family story featuring a very lovable little dog

"The little black poodle barks at everything.
She barks at the garbagemen and the telephone.
She barks at the wind when it blows and the rain when it rains."

Her family wonders why she makes so much noise, but they don’t really mind it. All but the father, that is. He’s a writer, and the barking makes him forget what he wants to say. Then one day the little poodle is left alone with him, and something happens that changes his mind for good.

Rezensionen

PreSchool-Grade 2-Originally published in 1964 (Lothrop; o.p.) with illustrations by Roger Duvoisin, and again in 1987 (HarperCollins) with illustrations by June Otani, this warm story tells of a little black poodle who barks at everything. He annoys the father more than the other members of the household. But one day when the two are left alone together, the dog becomes quiet and still. The man writes in his study while the pup presses quietly against the door and stays right by his side, without stopping to eat or drink or bark at the mailman. It is then that the bonding begins, as the father realizes the pet misses the rest of the family. This newly illustrated edition has spirit and life, and the mixed-media collages give the story a completely different feel. It offers a new perspective and a great deal of humor along the way. And no one will be able to resist this pooch.

First published in 1964, Charlotte Zolotow's The Poodle WhoBarked at the Wind, starring the lovable noisy pup, gets newillustrations by Valerie Coursen. Her paintings of the small blackpoodle aptly contrast the canine's busy, protective bounce (andbarking) with the forlorn silence that follows while the children areaway in this timeless homage to a cherished family pet.

PreS-Gr. 1. This third incarnation of Zolotow's quiet story--first published in 1964, then again in 1984--tells what happens when a family goes out, leaving the father, a writer, to work at home. The father is surprised that the family's poodle, who usually annoys him by barking at every little sound, is silent when the two of them are alone. When the family comes home, the poodle reverts to normal. The father then understands that when the dog barks its because she feels protective, and he finds her barking more bearable. The text is a little shorter than in the original, but the main difference between this and the most recent edition is the new artwork. Coursen's mixed-media collages fill the pages with color and motion, offering a lively interpretation of the day's events. It's curious that one facet of the story remains the same: the father still writes at a typewriter, rather than a computer. Though libraries may not need to replace good copies of the earlier edition, which offers the same story with clean, spare illustrations, the new picture book offers an attractive option.
