This book won't get lost in the vast sea of books about dogs.
The reason is simple: delightful illustrations, a funny, dynamic plot and good, "lively" text.
The heroine of Emma Chichester Clark's blog and two books, a dog of a "complex" breed - a cross between a hound, a terrier and a poodle - is incredibly popular in the UK, the author's homeland. In the Russian translation, her name is Butterscotch.
Iriska adores her owners and jealously watches to make sure that she is adored too. And suddenly a cat named Vyunok appears in the family. Hard times have come for Iriska. It seems to her that her owners have fallen out of love with her, have exchanged her devotion for cat sycophancy, and now the cat has taken her, Iriska's, place in their hearts. Iriska tries by hook or by crook to prove to her owners that she is the only one in this house - the only one and the most beloved. And all goals are good for this. For example, you can barricade the cat door and leave the hated cat in the rain. But how will the owners react to Iriska's protest?!
But who would have thought, in the end, Iriska and the cat become real friends!
A funny story about good feelings, nobility and friendship will appeal to children aged 2-5.
"Big Heart" is the second picture book about the adventures of Iriska.
