Great for transition between classes. - This book was a fantastic story for my Y5 class, soon to become my Y6 class. We read the story and discussed the metaphor of the dog, representing fear. We then listed all the fears the children had about moving up to Y6. We used Pie Corbett's 'talk for writing techniques' the learn the language patterns of the story before the children worked in groups to write their own version. It resulted in an amusing tale of the giant orange chicken outside the school. The children performed their version to the rest of the school and parents during a SEAL assembly. Thoroughly recommend this book for all ages. It's fun and provides a useful starting point to talk about issues, notably fears, the children are facing. Could be used in a range of contexts. The illustrations are also superb and could be used for a range of activities. Review: Loved everything about this book - This came as an desertcart recommendation and being able to view it online helped me quickly make the decision to buy it for my grand-daughter for Christmas because it has all the ingredients of being a 'special' book (and a snowy cover). The style and detail of the drawings is superb which make it one of those books that you can return to time and again (like Anthony Brown's 'Gorrilla') because you begin to notice more and more quirky little things in the exquisite illustrations. A good intelligent story too. The drawing of the dog is just wonderful, so if you know a little person who has a soft spot for big dogs or you own a black dog yourself then buy this lovely children's book, you won't be disappointed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 14,157 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 132 in Children's Books on Difficult Discussions 168 in Fiction About Emotions & Feelings for Children 269 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (271) | | Dimensions | 22 x 0.4 x 20.5 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1848777485 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1848777484 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | 1 Aug. 2012 | | Publisher | Templar Books | | Reading age | 7 - 9 years | ## Images ![Black Dog - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qwkqqHrjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic message in this book.

Have seen it used in schools but we don’t in ours. Lovely pictures and a good hidden message about possible fear of the unknown/terrorism/rumours etc. that could lead to discussions about what the children are scared of, that sometimes you have to face your fears or they won’t go away etc. ## Frequently Bought Together - Black Dog - How To Live Forever - The Barnabus Project --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51594764-black-dog](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51594764-black-dog) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
