At the Dog Park

Description

A doggy art book, an arty dog book, and a crowd-pleasing picture book for all ages, At the Dog Park features the real-life hounds of Western Australia, including those of local authors Dianne Wolfer and James Foley as well as some of Fremantle Press's very own pooches. In lively rhyming prose, Moira Court captures all the fun and diversity of the dog park - 'This dog is loud, this one is quiet. This dog is tiny, this one's a giant.' Each illustration is created using layered woodblock prints, screen-printing and collage. Children will love identifying their favourite dog breeds and what dogs they have seen at the park while learning about opposites.

Moira Court grew up in the West Country, England. She emigrated to Australia in 2001 and now lives in the Perth Hills with her husband, daughter and fur children. An artist and illustrator, she predominantly works in printmaking and likes to chop up the failures to use for collaging. Her work is inspired by nature, conservation, folklore and folk art. Moira's dog Lucy, who appears on the front cover of the book, is a rescue pup and very playful and bouncy.

" the wonderful thing is that these doggies are so beautifully drawn with the artist using layered woodblock prints, screen-printing and collage, that they all come alive for us." -- Good Reading " a crowd-pleasing picture book for all ages." -- Australian Dog Lover Magazine
