Summary

When Lily takes a walk, she sees only the evening star & the ducks on the canal; but her dog Nicky sees sea serpents & vampires lurking in the shadows. A delightful story ... children will enjoy its double world of fantasy & reality. This book addresses the subject of childhood fears. A gatefold last page reveals a heart-stopping finale for Nicky (& a hilarious coda for readers). Children will enjoy identifying with Lily & feeling superior to Nicky, who in fact experiences many of the fears they themselves are prone to. Nicky's overactive imagination gives this stroll a delicious scariness; inventive details on each page make this a walk well worth taking
