Lost in London is my absolute favourite in the Dog Detectives so far. The story is based around the legend of the Tower of London ravens (which dates back to King Charles II) which says that without the watchful eye of the resident ravens, the city of London is in danger of a great disaster.
The story begins in rhyme with the six ravens being convinced by a lonesome bat to play a game of hide and seek. The ravens of course become lost in the streets of London, and it soon becomes a job for the Dog Detectives to track them down.
The illustrations are bright and full of charm. Monika Suska has done a nice little spin on London's characters by putting them in animal form as trendy poodles, rats with mohawks, familes of foxes, bike riding bulldogs, and so on. There is lots to keep kids interested on every page. Having to solve riddles along the way also increases the interactivity of the book.
This is a really delightful trip through some of London's iconic landmarks. Entertaining and educational, with a sweet ending.

As soon as I opened the pages to this book I was attracted to the bright colours and clear pictures adorning every page of this book. The text is in a very clear font and size, perfect for a story to share at story time in a classroom or at home at bedtime.
A great book to introduce children to the landmarks of London. The book is about the search for the six black ravens that protect the Tower of London, and to help with the search, the detectives are given three clues by the Rat Riddler to help find them. These clues are given in the form of a rhyme and are perfect for young children to work out. The search for the ravens is interactive with the children reading the story as they can search the pictures to find the six missing ravens too.
The book also ends with a double page spread of facts about London and gives further information about London and its landmarks.
I recommend this as a perfect gift for a child visiting London for the first time or one who likes to solve clues.

In true Maverick publishing style this book is printed on the nicest of paper that just needs to be touched. Monika Suska has created lovely big bold illustrations that enchant the early reader from the start.
Read this book to my class of 6 year olds at story-time and they loved it. As the book progresses the children enjoyed spotting the ravens 'Where's Wally' style throughout the book.
After a recent school trip to london the children enjoyed spotting the familiar sights in the book and trying to solve the clues that the Rat Riddler sets before the Dog Detectives.
A good sized book ideal for sharing or little hands. Good for the early reader if they want to try to read independently.
A book that should be held and read and should grace all book shelves in bedrooms and classrooms.
