Hilda and the Black Hound: Hilda Book 4 (Hildafolk) Hardcover – Picture Book, May 27, 2014

My kids love this book series! Bought them for Christmas, and my kids were thrilled. Cute, well written, and good illustrations.

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 love watching Hilda on Netflix and now I have my very own book!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Pearson really expands his fictional world here with the introduction of not only the Nisse but also this sidelong dimension that they occupy. He does a great job of telling a complete story but then leaving a number of loose ends unresolved that he can come back to later or just leave to the reader's imagination. My *only* complaint is the explanation of how the messes of all the houses were made. How do you drag things into or out of a hole unless they're sticking to you somehow, or you're actively pushing them out? Aside from that, though, this was perfect with a perfect ending.

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.

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.

Love!I came across Hilda and the Troll, whilst searching for some new Graphic Novels and yup I'm certainly no child, but you don't have to be to enjoy the Hilda series - this is even better than the last - cute, funny and entertaining, hope you enjoy it as much as I!

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.
