Blurb
A classic picture book that combines Edward Gorey's slightly spooky images with Rhoda Levine's timeless tale of a dog that wants to be named.
The naming of dogs can be a tricky business, as Ogdon and his big brother discover in this charming collaboration between Rhoda Levine and Edward Gorey. You see, before Ogdon and his family moved to a new house, no one mentioned the big shaggy sheep dog in the back yard, but there he was, just sitting and waiting, imperturbable as can be. Waiting for what? Ogdon wonders. Dinner? A lollipop? A stray cat? Someone to talk to? No, what the dog wants is a name. And not just any name, but the right name. And with a little patience, and a lot of persistence, Ogdon and his brother will figure it out.
Biography (Edward Gorey)
Edward Gorey, geboren 1925 in Chicago. Im knöchellangen Pelzmantel wurde der Artdirector des Verlags Doubleday and Co. zum stadtbekannten New Yorker Exzentriker. Weltbekannt machten ihn seine Bildergeschichten. Die Ehrungen seines Werks reichten vom Deutschen Jugendbuchpreis bis zum Verbot durch das österreichische Innenministerium wegen Pornographie. Der Ballettomane Gorey verließ New York, als sein Lieblingstänzer Balanchine in Rente ging. Bis zu seinem Tod im April 2000 lebte er zurückgezogen auf Cape Cod.
