Les amoureux des chiens saucisses tomberont sous le charme de Ralf, ce chien-élastique qui sauve la vie de ses maîtres.

Un avis purement subjectif. J'ai acheté l'album bien plus pour moi que pour les enfants... Oups!

Jag är partisk, jag vet. Familjens första hund var en tax och jag var sex år. Ändå - ja ändå, tror jag att långe Ralf - nej, vet jag att jättelånge Ralf är värd sina fem stjärnor.
Boken är kort, men räcker (ehm) länge, på mer än ett sätt.

Here it is another artist that communicates about life using illustrations. Jean Jullien is a French graphic designer living in London who believes humor, creativity and visual art are essential and therapeutic as well in our lives.
Ralf is Jean Jullien’s first picture book. It is a non-conventional story about a dog’s devotion and his need for a confirmed sense of belonging. Beginning in an ordinary manner, the story continues unrealistic yet extremely symbolic.
Ralf is a sausage dog, a little dog who takes up a lot of space, a dog that can stretch anywhere. The dog owners will easily picture familiar situations and probably have a loud laugh seeing Ralf sneaking at the shower or snuggling up in bed. His family loves him,
It’s just that his long body gets in the way all the time.

Ralf is a very special sausage dog, who always gets in the way. But when his family are in danger, Ralf's length is his saving grace! Funny, touching, and beautifully illustrated, this is a lovely story to share.

This was just adorable and fun to read. Ralph is the kind of dog you'll want to have around you.
