Book Overview
"When Lily takes a walk, she sees only the evening star & the ducks on the canal; but her dog Nicky sees sea serpents & vampires lurking in the shadows. A delightful story ... children will enjoy its double world of fantasy & reality."-Kirkus Reviews "Addresses the subject of childhood fears. A gatefold last page reveals a heart-stopping finale for Nicky (& a hilarious coda for readers). Children will enjoy identifying with Lily & feeling superior to Nicky, who in fact experiences many of the fears they themselves are prone to. Nicky's overactive imagination gives this stroll a delicious scariness; inventive details on each page make this a walk well worth taking."-Publishers Weekly

Great treatment of childhood fears
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Beautifully illustrated for the 3-to-6 years crowd. A great turnaround story. The child does the confident walking while the dog does the imagining and worrying with lots of subtle and obvious humour along the way. This was read by an enthusiastic wannabe reader over and over and over with smiles and giggles. What a treat!
Funny book, great pictures, and monsters to boot
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is now one of my two and a half year old's favorites. Lily is having a pleasant walk home, but her dog is not - around every corner he sees the monsters. My daughter and I have a name for every monster in the book - the water monster, the garbage monster, etc. Great for dealing with the stage she is at right now with the monsters under the dining room table! Plus, the illustrations in the book are georgeous!
