A beautiful exploration of happiness and hope Nino doesn't have a dog, but he likes to imagine that he does. His imaginary dog chases squirrels and plays in the lake with him. His imaginary dog licks the tears off Nino's face and helps Nino feel less lonely while his dad is traveling. But when Nino gets a real dog, it's not quite what he expected. As he spends more time with his dog, though, Nino learns how to be content with what he has, but that doesn't stop him from continuing to dream. This award-winning book beautifully depicts the art of finding a balance between imagination and reality.

Review Kirkus Reviews “A sensitive reminder that imagination can provide comfort, though not in unlimited quantity.”Publishers Weekly(Starred Review) “Through playful negatives and sumptuous illustrations van de Vendel and Van Hertbruggen suggest that imagination can fill the void where melancholy and longing live, coexisting with realities beyond one’s control.”The Wall Street Journal “The aching hunger for an absent father provides the emotional propulsion in [this] resonant book for young readers. . . . [an] unusual tribute to the consolations of imagination.” Booklist, starred, splash-page review “There are plenty of picture books about finding imaginary friends, loving imaginary friends, even wistful books about letting go of imaginary friends. But few have plumbed the depths of loneliness and emotional complexity the way Van de Vendel and Van Hertbruggen do in their stunning, pithy picture book. . . . Van de Vendel’s simple lines evoke a childlike logic about imagination and friendship that’s well-matched by Van Hertbruggen’s utterly gorgeous artwork. . . . With such gaze-worthy art, it’s hard not to pore over each scene, and given the depth of detail, those long looks are rewarding. More rewarding still is the gentle, subtle, and nonjudgmental presentation of tricky feelings that will be familiar to many young readers, as well as the jubilant discovery of the joyful, comforting power of imagination.”Boston Globe “The Dog That Nino Didn’t Have is moving and unexpectedly beautiful. First there’s the voice, full of negatives, which hews pretty closely, though not cloyingly, to the rhythms of child-speak. And then there’s the mood, which lifts or shifts when Nino gets a real dog for his birthday. . . . But this is not a story about the triumph of the real over the imagined. Nino’s dream life of animals swells in the final turn, cracking open his world and remaining true to the book’s fantastic heart.”

Eye-mesmerizing By Pammycats The Dog That Nino Didn't HaveWritten by Edward Van De VendelIllustrated by Anton Van HertbruggenI received an Advanced Reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.I give this book five out of five stars.It is an excellent and eye-mesmerizing story. I checked out the author and illustrator's websites. The author is from the Netherlands and the illustrator is Belgian. This book has been previously published in Belgium and has received several awards.The book that I am reviewing is a copy of the English language version (2015)Plot:The story is about a young boy (Nino) with an imaginary dog. He and the dog do everything together until the day the boy gets a "real" dog. At first Nino thinks he must give up his imaginary friend. By the end, though, he comes to understand that his new dog and old friend can coexist. The prose is very spare but the illustrations (see below) work in tandem with the words to tell a story. I have re-read this story several times and am still picking up details and information about Nino. The book, as a whole, is enchanting.,IllustrationsThe illustrations are beautiful. They are earth/ natural tones - greens, browns, reds, creams, purples. They remind me of Robert McClosky illustrations - simple lines with smears of colors in all different shades making the world look warm and inviting. I spent a lot of time just looking at these pictures trying to take in all the details and enjoy every bit. The pictures invite you into Nino's life. The imaginary animals are done as simple pen and ink drawings. They are shadow animals but shaped so real. The made-up dog exists only in Nino's mind but he is fully realized. The dog is fearless and does everything the boy wants. He even helps the boy to not be frightened of his Grandmother and licks Nino's tears away when he is sad. The dog knows everything about Nino including his relationship with his Dad (who he talks to on the phone long distance). The illustrations help flesh out the story. The author does not give a back story to Nino but the pictures tell us more about his life. We see the boy talking with his Dad. The reader does not know where Dad lives but the pictures show us that he is a pilot. He is clutching a bag. There are flamingoes, African masks, maps, headphones. The Dad looks super sad. On the next page we see Nino looking sad and being comforted by his imaginary dog. There are African masks in his room. He has model planes, space ships, pictures of aircraft, a child's picture of the imaginary dog, a globe. Later the imaginary dog is gone. Every page at the beginning of the book has the imaginary dog. We look for him on each page. When we get to the page that tells us the imaginary dog is gone, the dog is not in the picture for the first time. There are balloons, feathers, and leaves floating away on the breeze. We turn the page and see Nino with his new real dog. This dog is fully colored and "real" on the page. The words describe his new dog. The picture shows the boy pensively looking at the new dog. The dog is alert and ready to engage with the boy but Nino is leaning away, unsure. The new dog is not the same as his imaginary dog but he and Nino are growing together. At the end, Nino realizes that he can have his real dog and his imaginary animals. They all have a place in Nino's universe. On the last page, we see the new dog and his old imaginary dog curled up together sleeping next to Nino.Overall, I highly recommend this book. I think children as young as three could understand the basics of the story and enjoy the rich illustrations. Adults will simply love this book.
