The Tale of the Tiny Man
Now with new illustrations, this Swedish classic follows a wistful man whose solitude is broken by an eager pup. But before his canine rescue, he endures the hostility of those who don’t understand his quaint, kind ways. Light, pencil-lined images edged in watercolor follow along as the man sends wishes for companionship into the world—and is answered by his new friend’s rough tongue, wet nose, and tumbling habits. Audiences will also be “pleased as punch” over the man’s turn in fortunes.
