DESCRIPTION:
But back I will be.DominicIt's time for a change, so Dominic packs his collection of hats and his piccolo and heads out, letting the world take him where it may. But can one lone dog bring down an entire band of hooligans?. I don't know when I'll be back. Legend of his victory quickly spreads, and each new friend Dominic meets tells him a story of their own less-fortunate meeting with the villains, and asks for help from the heroic dog. I embrace you all and sniff you with love. Dear Friends,I am leaving in rather a hurry to see more of the world, so I have no time to say goodbye to you individually. When Dominic encounters members of the Doomsday Gang, he easily foils their attempt to rob him
He published his first children's book, Roland the Minstrel Pig, in 1968. Every member of his family was involved in the arts, and so it was no surprise when he decided to become an artist.

J.M.Phelps said A story that's stayed with me for "A story that's stayed with me for 25 years" according to J.M.Phelps. I was given this book by my brother almost 25 years ago, and I still consider it the best children's book I've ever read. In fact, I still pull it out from time to time and read it when I need a lift. I love the fact that Steig respects children enough to use sophisticated language and themes. This book has always made me feel smart and brave--just like Dominic himself! He is a wonderful hero and role model for boys and girls alike. It's a joy to read that so many others have also been touched . 5 years. I was given this book by my brother almost "A story that's stayed with me for 25 years" according to J.M.Phelps.

In Dominic, Steig created a character who endured with me my whole life as not just a well-crafted creation, but something inspiring. He's clever but not unrealistically so - prone to navel-gazing and dreaming but also a pragmatist - polite and friendly but not naive or sheepish - intelligent but not a know-it-all - brave but occasionally a little too gung-.

Dominic. And off he goes, with an assortment of hats (rakish, dashing, solemn, and martial), his precious piccolo, and a few other things, leaving a note on his door: Dear Friends, I am leaving rather in a hurry to see more of the world, so I have no time to say goodbye to you individually.
