媒体评论：
“在《流浪狗》这个篇幅不多但迷人的小画卷里，马克·西蒙特回忆并诠释了他的朋友萨萨丽子曾经跟他讲述的一个关于流浪狗的真实故事。简单而直白的文字，配上细节满满又充满艺术性的插画，读者很轻易就能体会到那种‘找到一个毛茸茸的小狗朋友’的欣喜，感受‘把它孤零零地留在原地’的担忧和伤心。” ——儿童插画师 絮阳
 
“在马克·西蒙特这本温暖人心的《流浪狗》故事的背后，或许，我们还应该从那些更成熟、更人性化的对待动物的方式上，得到一些思考。这本‘单纯又复古’的图画书里所描绘的人与‘毛动物’之间的缘分，值得我们细细品味。——果壳网科普作家 王氪

一家人去公园野餐，发现了一条流浪狗。孩子们和狗狗开心地玩了一整天，并给它取名为“威利”。傍晚，他们依依不舍地跟威利道别。奇怪的是，回家后的整整一星期，这家人心里都惦记着这只流浪狗。直到下周，他们再一次来到公园寻找威利。不巧的是，捕狗大队的人也在搜捕它……
When a little dog appears at a family picnic, the girl and boy play with him all afternoon, and they name him Willy. At day’s end they say good-bye. But the dog has won their hearts and stays on their minds.
The following Saturday the family returns to the picnic grounds to look for Willy, but they are not alone—the dogcatcher is looking for him, too...
Caldecott Medalist Marc Simont’s heartwarming tale of a stray dog is told with tender simplicity and grace.

Marc Simont was born in 1915 in Paris. His parents were from the Catalonia region of Spain, and his childhood was spent in France, Spain, and the United States. Encouraged by his father, Joseph Simont, an artist and staff illustrator for the magazine L’Illustration, Marc Simont drew from a young age. Though he later attended art school in Paris and New York, he considers his father to have been his greatest teacher.
Internationally acclaimed for its grace, humor, and beauty, Marc Simont’s art is in collections as far afield at the Kijo Picture Book Museum in Japan, but the honor he holds most dear is having been chosen as the 1997 Illustrator of the Year in his native Catalonia. Mr. Simont and his wife have one grown son, two dogs and a cat. They live in West Cornwall, Connecticut. Marc Simont’s newest book is The Stray Dog.
