Spot the Dog is a series of books by Eric Hill, which were later made into a popular children's animation for BBC television by David McKee's King Rollo Films. First published in 1980, Where's Spot was inspired by the reaction of Eric's 2-year-old son to an advert in which lifting the flap revealed a funny picture and to a bedtime story made up to go along with it. It became tremendously successful and a series of further books featuring the character was commissioned.

  • Spot the Dog is a series of books by Eric Hill, which were later made into a popular children's animation for BBC television by David McKee's King Rollo Films. First published in 1980, Where's Spot was inspired by the reaction of Eric's 2-year-old son to an advert in which lifting the flap revealed a funny picture and to a bedtime story made up to go along with it. It became tremendously successful and a series of further books featuring the character was commissioned. Later, an animated version was produced, along with translations into more than 60 languages. The character has also starred in interactive CD-ROMs, as well as appearing in-person at events throughout the world. The books are much praised by librarians and teachers for encouraging very young children to start reading, and have even been used to teach literacy to adults.
  • Dribbel is een hondje uit de kinderboekenreeks van Eric Hill. Waar is Dribbel? is de eerste versie van de reeks. Het werd voor het eerst uitgegeven in 1980 met het tegenwoordig beroemde kijk achter de flap idee. In totaal zijn er wereldwijd meer dan vier miljoen exemplaren van Waar is Dribbel? gedrukt. Zijn avonturen zijn vertaald in meer dan 65 talen, waaronder Bretons, Welsh, Fries, en zelfs naar het braille. Er zijn al meer dan 75 verschillende boeken van Dribbel verschenen. In totaal zijn er over de hele wereld meer dan veertig miljoen Dribbel-boeken gedrukt, en wordt in meer dan honderd verschillende landen uitbracht. De boekjes van Dribbel zijn tevens bewerkt tot tekenfilmserie. In Nederland werd deze serie uitgezonden door de omroep VPRO in het kinderblok van Villa Achterwerk.
  • Tassen er en tegnet hundefigur som opptrer i flere bøker, animerte TV-serier, spill og andre produkter beregnet på små barn. Tassen ble opprinnelig skapt av den britiske illustratøren Eric Hill (1927-) i barneboka Where’s Spot? i 1980. Det var en enkel bildebok med papirklaffer til å løfte opp, en såkalt pop-up-bok, som han skreiv til sønnen sin på to år. Boka ble en enorm kommersiell suksess og innledet en serie med bøker om den gule hvalpen med flekken og dyrevennene hans. Bøkene og filmene er oversatt til en mengde språk og Tassen er i dag en internasjonalt kjent barnebokfigur med høye salgstall. Fortellingene om Tassen er svært enkle og poengterte med korte tekster og tegninger med definerte konturer og klare farger. Bøkene har blant annet vært viktige for å lære barn, og også voksne, å lese. Navnet Tassen blir ofte brukt på hunder.
