Product Description

Amazon Review

Dogger is the endearing story of how Dave's beloved Dogger was lost and found. Winner of the 1977 Kate Greenaway Medal, Dogger is a timeless classic which, in simple words and detailed pictures, shows the distress the loss of a toy causes a child, as well as the reality of family life. Filled with humour and Shirley Hughes' deft touch, this is a book for young readers to tackle by themselves, as well as a delight to read aloud.

A Big Book edition is also available.

Review

This is Hughes' most heartwarming picture book . . . Hughes has a kindly, inexhaustible eye - she misses nothing . . . Her drawing is invariably superb and usually describes a reassuring world for chidlren - sometimes happier-than-thou. She has illustrated more than 200 titles - she is a virtuoso.

Shirley Hughes is a national treasure

Delightful.

A heart-warming story . . . Shirley Hughes' warm and deceptively simple story is a perennial favourite among children and experts alike (Psychologies Magazine )

There are certain books that should be in every family's library and Dogger is certainly one of them (Books for Children ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

What a lovely book, I bought it for my daughter when she was small and she adored it, now I'm looking for the hardback version for her now she is nearly seventeen. She has asked for it to keep and to give to her children one day.

The story of Dogger is both movinig and inspirational about a child who has lost his beloved toy.

This story can help other children who have for exmaple have lost toys or a pet to cope and deal with the situation.

A book for all!!!

I used to covet this book when my big brother owned it, and now I can buy my own copy! I just remember the lovely feeling it gave me: the illustrations, the story, it is delightful from cover to cover. I want my kids to read it some day...

A lovely story with a moral that can easily be used in a PSHE lesson. I shared it with 300 children in an assembly and it was enjoyed from Reception to Year 6. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice story and pictures.
I like this book, but my 4yr old granddaughter hasn't chosen to read it yet - I think she's put off by the title and that it's a boy on the cover (she's a bit princessy). Read more
