Seasons come and go. It’s winter now for Billy and Buddy,
always a magical time for children—and at least one dog. Between the snow to
play with and throw at each other, the ice to slide on, and the quaint seasonal
customs a smart cocker spaniel can twist to the advantage of his stomach... The
opportunities for fun and mischief are endless! Whether the adults feel the
same way about it, well... That’s not very important, is it?
Well, cute fun and well drawn and nice colour work. What I'd like to know is Roba's work-rate. How long between books? Why? Well, he is writing to a certain age group but making the work also readable by adults which is the sign of a good writer. But he has my respect because it is no easy thing to write page after page full of visual or other gags. I know. I've tried it.
Buy -read to your kids (real or imaginary -no one will know).
