I remember Dogger from my childhood and when I discovered that this had been released last year thought that I'd best get my skates on and obtain a copy. What you get with a title by Shirley is a story that has a very homey and realistic feel which is backed with some delightfully realistic artwork. It has a wonderful lead character, an everyday adventure and a child that all of us can associate with regardless of our age. That's the key with Shirley's titles, they appeal to adults as well as children and above all else they really will stay with you years later which makes this a wonderful addition to any child's bookshelf.

This book is great for 4-5 year olds as illustrates a real life situation and shows youngsters that sometimes doing something different away from mum and dad can be very exciting and fun, however the next time you go to collect them from nursery or the babysitters they might say "Don't want to go!".Please bear in mind that this book may be to long for younger children to truly enjoy.
If you have a child who is uncertain of new experiences or wary of change, this book might help.

Written from the perspective of Lily, a preschooler, this story recounts a day when Lily's usual routine goes out of the window and her response - "don't want to go" - to it out of fear and uncertainty.
My daughter totally (2) seems to identify with the narrative. As a sometimes-reluctant preschooler too, this is all to the good as it successfully shows the adult's perspective and reflects the child's point of view.
This lesson of the tale is that by sometimes doing what we have to - going to spend the day with a family friend instead of staying with her mum, who is ill - can have good outcomes. Needless to say, from being reluctant to go Lily doesn't want to go home at the end when her dad comes to pick her up.
As ever, the pleasure in this simple story are as much in the illustrations as the narrative. (Love the page that mirrors the sticking activity, in particular.)
