Fearless by Colin Thompson
Published by ABC Books 2010
"When a new baby is born it′s difficult to tell if it will grow up to be big or small or brave or scared of the dark and spiders. So sometimes babies get the wrong name. It′s the same with dogs.
So when the Claybourne-Willments, who should have been called the Smiths, got Fearless as a little puppy, it seemed a good name for him.
Except Fearless wasn′t."
How does Fearless finally live up to his name? By accident, of course!
The illustrations for Fearless were created using acrylic and prismacolor pencils - and with the help of some friendly bulldog supermodels!

“Illustrator Sarah Davis really brings out the endearing Fearless––so expressive and realistic. ”
“Fearless is a gorgeous, whimsically funny book about names, about love and about courage. The text is delightful and the illustrations, by Chrichton Award winning illustrator Sarah Davis, are absolutely gorgeous. Fearless’ facial expressions are especially endearing, and kids will laugh out loud at his antics.”
