"If you're looking for a beautifully illustrated children's picture book, The Incredible Adventure of Hugh Hound by Geoff Payne is a must-have for your child's library." - Vernita Naylor - Readers' Favorite
"The Incredible Adventure of Hugh Hound had me reliving my first reading of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and revisiting Daniel Defoe and Robert Louis Stevenson's marvelous adventure novels. His verse has the power and internal music of the Rime, and his story sparks the imagination as those classic adventure tales so easily managed to do.
Parents and caregivers are in for a treat when they bring this book out for storytime as it's guaranteed to thrill everyone involved. It's a pleasure to read aloud as well as listen to, and Sarah Truman's artwork follows the story line in magnificent fashion. Each panel is filled with inked details, jewel-like colors and a master's use of wash, shading, and textures.
Adults reading this book may also find they're thinking of their first reading of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy and other great fantasy offerings as they read aloud. What a marvelous introduction to the great classics, and it's easily accessible and enjoyable for all ages.
Suitable for young readers to try on their own as well as for storytime, this new classic adventure tale is most highly recommended." - Jack Magnus - Reader's Favorite
"A wonderful tale of gold and adventure, The Incredible Adventure of Hugh Hound is the perfect bedtime story or a great picture book for earlyreaders." - Marta Tandori - Reader's Favorite
