A Dog's Tale: The Story of a Little Dog with a Big Imagination Kiko 9781836270423

One-Eyed Patch, a brave pug with the spirit of Indiana Jones, lives a life full of extraordinary adventures on the sea. After a storm tosses him overboard, he's saved by Moby the sperm whale and finds himself on an island of friendly elephants.

But a mysterious voice beckons him to New York, where a new adventure awaits. Who could it be calling him back? Perhaps One-Eyed Patch is in reality a much-loved little dog with a big imagination!

Kiko lives on the fifth floor of a Parisian building where he creates designs for readers young and old. When not immersed in his artwork, Kiko enjoys playing the guitar, spending time with his daughter and taking in the sights of the city. His impressive portfolio includes publications with Milan, Gallimard, Tourbillon, Bayard and Fleurus. Kiko is also a regular contributor to popular children's magazines.

A delightful book about a brave dog with a wild imagination.

Kiko's artwork is brimming with energy, its graphic-novel-inspired compositions lending momentum to Patch's wild storytelling. There's a touch of TinTin in the way the illustrations embrace movement, colour, and a cinematic sense of framing, reinforcing the thrill of discovery at every turn. The visual storytelling expertly shifts between Patch's imagined feats and his more modest reality, inviting readers to delight in the unreliable narration of a dog who dreams BIG.

A charming little dog who has one of the biggest imaginations I have ever come across! I hope his will become a bedtime story for the ages...
