This series is a wordless graphic novel with beautiful, easy to follow art work. The action is sweeping enough that even if you don't read the single intro page or use the character guide at the end, you can follow the whole plot of the story. The story uses mixed fantastical elements while still holding together with a coherent story. The book really holds together around the sweet relationship between the girl and the korgi, which grows nicely through the five book series. My daughter absolutely loves them!

Beautiful pen artwork but not really any kind of story for the readers of this age group. Maybe it just felt that way since there are no words.

Slade's artwork is adorable, and Korgi is a cute book. It's wordless but the action is easy to follow. Rabbit (who is 12) asked me what happened because she didn't really get it, but I suspect she was trying to see how fast she could read it, not reading for comprehension.
Anyway, it's a good all-ages graphic novel. It didn't rock my world or anything but it was a pleasant way to spend ten minutes.

I'm definitely a dog person, but Corgis are a breed I've never particularly liked (might have something to do with my Girl Scout leader's bitey series of pups). So maybe I shouldn't have bothered.
This is wordless, and gorgeously illustrated (some of it looks like the most intricate ballpoint pen doodle you've ever seen), and follows the adventures of the girl on the cover and her friend, a seemingly anthropomorphized title creature. The dogs live in trees (although the way their treehouses are drawn makes this seem only a magical possibility, given doggish physical limitations). And giants and ogres and other monsterish humanoids are around.
meh, I think I'm too serious for this stuff. I need to know more of the inner workings of the world to be into it. And I don't have a corgi obsession to pull me through.

This is a book that is totally adorable mostly because of Mr. Frodo and Kady Bug my two corgis, who are so full of personality and sass, and I have to mention of course Flapjack who is such a little prince.
I got this book for only two dollars and will be looking for the rest of the series. There aren't any words, so I don't think that this is something that I would have ever have bought full price though I am extremely pleased I have this. I feel that books like this are made to have a child tell you the story. Have them explain what is happening in each picture and see where they can take the narrative.
