| book description |
Cù Giobach is the Gaelic translation of the original bestselling French children's series Chien Pourri that launched one of the most popular and endearing characters ever - a rather flea-bitten dog with a very big heart. He lives on the streets, unloved - his only friend is an equally abandoned cat, Piseag Phiollach. Desperate to find an owner, and to be loved and cared for, he falls into various misadventures and meets a few unsavoury characters along the way. Always optimistic, he's not quite as street smart as he should be. His eagerness to please gets him into some very awkward scrapes, but Cù Giobach always bounces back.  Sometimes quite dark, it's ultimately an uplifting story of friendship and belonging. An imaginative illustrated chapter book for children progressing beyond picture books. Written by Colas Gutman with striking illustrations by Marc Boutavant, over 2 million books have been sold in France alone and the series is available in 15 languages worldwide. It also inspired a successful animated tv series. Jenny Rosenstrach of the New York Times ""There's more than a hint of Lemony Snicket's dark hilarity in Gutman's writing."" This is the first Gaelic translation of this modern French classic by well-known performer and academic Gillebrìde Mac 'IlleMhaoil. Publication is supported by the Gaelic Books Council.
