Description:

"Nothing at All" is the name of an orphaned puppy living with his two brothers until two children come to adopt them. Unfortunately, Nothing at All gets inadvertently left behind--not out of cruelty, but because he is invisible!

He is horribly lonely until he meets a bird, a Jackdaw, who says that he knows how to make the puppy visible. Nothing at All doesn't think much of the bird at first, but follows the instructions anyway, and after a little time, hard work, and a lot of dizziness, the puppy becomes visible and is adopted along with his brothers.

Review Quotes:

"Gag was among the first to create what we now call an artist-concept book--written, designed and illustrated by one person. Her stories always have a funny twist that appeals to children. Her simplicity appeals in this complex world."--St. Paul Pioneer Press

"[Gag's] body of children's books is not large, but each title is a treasure, done in her instantly recognizable style."--Horn Book Magazine
