Hilda and the Black Hound: Hilda Book 4 (Hildafolk)

I like Hilda. She's sweet and kind and adventurous. She also accepts the consequences of her actions, which is pretty uncommon in fictitious (and real) children. And in this book, she does screw some things up. Granted, she's trying to solve a different problem when she creates a new one, but it was oddly delightful to see her acknowledge her mistake and accept the consequences.Anyway, if you're new to Hilda, you can definitely start here. She's a girl with a great imagination living in a world full of magic, and her adventures are wonderful.

I would give this series a 2 because I adore children’s books for their beautiful illustrations and moral meaningfulness, but I am forced to give it a 5 because my 3 year old daughter loves the exploits of Hilda. As a lover of triolls, goblins and other mysterious beings that my child and I often speculate about, I suppose I must give the series credit where it is due.

Highly recommend this author and this whole series. It's what the Netflix series is based on, almost panel per panel, but it has its own charm to it apart from the show. Makes a great reference book for aspiring comic artists, too.

My four-year-old adores this book, and so do I. We read it the first time with baited breath, eager to see the resolution play out, but have enjoyed it just as much with repeated readings. It's incredibly detailed and full of little things we only noticed after reading it and peering at the pictures multiple times. This author is super creative. We've purchased another of his books and my kiddo just picked out a third at the library. Good stuff!

The Hilda books are awesome (the original graphic novels; have not seen the novelized tie-ins). Unique and enjoyable drawing style, good stories. This goes not just for The Black Hound, but for all six of the originals. The Netflix series has expanded beyond the books, but stayed true to their style, characters and overall feel. If your child enjoys the series, the graphic novels will be a slam-dunk bedtime addition. Would say they're good for at least age 5 and up. My 4-year-old loves them.

I regret nothing, and I have almost bought everything. The artwork is amazing, the quality is fantastic, I've added it to my coffee table reading to "spread the word" with my houseguests.

Bought for my 4 year old, who enjoys the Netflix series and loves books. She falls asleep "reading" this book. Like the large size so pictures aren't too small. Will have to get the rest of the series now!

These are super cute stories. Love the netflix show too.

Bought for my 6 year old who is an avid reader. He’ll sit and read this over the space if an hour. Giving it 5 stars from him because he enjoyed it and 5 stars from me for the hour’s peace I got.

Great books. My daughter loves these, and devours them in one sitting. Highly recommended.

My son loves this book series and says he can't wait for the 6th instalment because he heard the 5th one has a cliff hanger ending.This particular book was apparently so good he couldn't stop reading til he got to the end.

I ordered this for a friend, expecting it to be a simple paperback comic, but when it arrived, it was so gorgeous in texture and print and paper quality that I've decided I have to get one for myself too! 100% value for money, please support this comic

kids like it and a bit of magic that's takes it beyond the usual generic kids book, makes it enjoyable for everyone.
