Beautiful. Well written... and beautifully drawn. January 15, 2008
We really enjoyed this book. We're big lovers of corgis, and this book is a must for Corgi Lovers. Beautifully drawn. We really enjoyed it. We will be buying more for friends and family.
Best Corgi Adventure Ever December 26, 2007
There are some things I use in my life to measure the taste and character of people I meet. Korgi is one of those things. If you don't find Korgi charming and precious, there's something wrong with your soul. In fact I suggest therapy.
Yes, it takes two minutes to read. You will read it ten times in a day.
Korgi is a simple story of a little girl and her corgi. They have adventures. They fight monsters.
But there's so much more, so much more definition, that the artist layers onto his creation that makes careful and extensive examination of the book worthwhile. Simply looking at a picture of the korgis presented does not satisfy, but looking and mentally dissecting every image does.
Korgi is a sweet (but never saccharine) tale. Share it with someone who likes simple tales. And puppies.
can't wait for the next one... December 18, 2007
great illustrations, great characters, great story...okay, let's just say this is a great little book, okay? 3 yr old, 6 yr old, 40+ yr olds...we all love it and are waiting impatiently for the next one...please let there be a next one...
 Charming Artwork, No Dialog October 15, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Korgi is a graphic novel in the truest sense: it's all graphic. There's not a single word of dialog. Christian Slade's artwork is absolutely gorgeous (it's obvious that he has Corgis himself, because he captures them perfectly). This book is appropriate for all ages. Personally, I find it a little difficult to get involved in a story when it has no words, but as long as you're expecting a purely visual experience, I recommend this book.
Don't Miss It ! August 17, 2007

WOW I'm going to 'read' it again as soon as I finish this review. It was an experience like a child's first awareness of a butterfly. Korgi Book 1 made me feel like a wide-eyed child agian. The drawings are rich with expression and movement; the story is exciting and unpredictable. Discovery, Adventure, Growth, Affection, Wonder. Yes, it is a fantasy for all ages. It can be shared with the youngest of dreamers and even old reminiscers like me. I can hardly wait for Korgi Book 2.
