review 1: 2013 USBBY Outstanding International Book (Rogers is Australian)Especially for lovers of Vermeer and Dutch painting.A little boy is chased by a group of boys after he kicks their soccer ball into a fountain. To escape them, he joins a line waiting to enter London's National Gallery. His reaction to the modern paintings is fun -- imating statues, twisting his head to try to figure it out. Imagination takes over as the little dog in the Arnolfini wedding portrait leaps out to join the boy. Together they explore, then find a piece of music has escape a Vermeer portrait, so they enter to return it to her. One scene on a Dutch street pays homage to another Vermeer painting. His new little dog friend leads him on an adventure ... and leads him to become a hero when he makes a da... morerk discovery in a dungy cellar.
review 2: This is the third book in the Boy Bear series. It is written in picture book format, however, it is more of a wordless comic book, as the story is revealed in frames like a comic strip. A little boy is chased by a group of older kids, so he hides in a line which takes him into a museum. In the museum, he walks along until he spies a friendly looking dog in one of the pictures. The dog jumps out of the picture and plays with the boy, running through the museum until they find a piece of paper. After reading the paper, first the dog and then the boy head into a picture, where more adventure ensues as the scene continues to grow beyond the picture itself. The girl in this picture gives the boy a flute, which lures many dogs to his aide. They finally find their way out of this crazy picture and the dog enters his original picture before the boy heads back outside, with the flute still tucked in his pocket. When the bullies outside start to chase him again, he pulls out his flute and dogs come running to help him. less
