Little Dog Lost

     * “An edge-of-your-seat adventure story, based on a true story, for the very young—with a text that also works beautifully as a beginning reader for older children.”—Horn Book STAR
     * “With its gripping plot and simple text, this has natural early reader possibilities as well as readaloud merits.”—BCCB STAR
     “Though delivered simply, this tale is intrinsically powerful—kids know how slippery ice can be, and Dog’s loneliness and helplessness is similarly relatable. Carnesi’s soft, comforting watercolors make great use of wide tableaux of tiny Dog almost lost among the huge sea of blue water and white icebergs. . . . Inspirational, heart-tugging offering.”—Booklist
     “The story is told simply and charmingly. The author's use of the present tense gives the narrative immediacy, and with very brief sentences, some dialogue and questions posed to readers, Carnesi imbues the tale with a strong sense of drama that will captivate young listeners.”—Kirkus
     “The artwork’s perspective continually shifts, giving the tale a cinematic frame-by-frame quality. . . . The book's small trim size complements the cozy, feel-good conclusion.”—PW
     “In this debut, Carnesi conveys the immensity of the scenery as well as the intimacy of the dog's tale.”—The New York Times
