Iggy, by Alex Cousseau and illustrated by Janik Coat

Under pouring rain, he disappears, and in front of a plate of spaghetti, it’s hard to tell who’s eating what. It’s certainly not easy living with an Afghan Hound…

Duke, the cat, tells us all about this everyday life with Iggy, his pet, an actual Afghan Hound. About the way Iggy always pees under the weeping willow, his love of spaghetti, all the long hours he spends in the bathroom or at the hairdressers… And how crazy he is about balls!

As usual, Alex Cousseau’s text is perfect. But this time, he wrote it for Janik Coat to go back to pencil drawing. Nothing is more graphic and comical than an Afghan Hound. Especially when he runs at 90 km/hour after a ball, all hair up. Can you visualize the scene, or do you need a drawing? Just open the book and marvel in front of Janik’s! Janik Coat, a graphic designer and illustrator, is madly in love with dogs. Alex Cousseau is an author, and he’s madly in love with dogs, too. They form a marvellous duo who has great fun working together and allow us to join the fun with each one of their picture books.

Duke, the black cat and “his” dog Iggy will make you laugh out loud!
