A lost toy reveals a sister's kindness

Very Good Condition - Covers lightly scuffed, edges/corners creased and slightly curled. Named school presentation label inside.

Dave's favourite toy is a small, rather worn dog called Dogger. To anyone else he may look ordinary, but to Dave he is irreplaceable. When Dogger goes missing, the routines of home and a busy school fair become overshadowed by Dave's worry. His older sister, Bella, has her own excitement to think about, yet she understands just how much the little dog matters. Shirley Hughes tells this familiar childhood drama with close attention to family life and the emotions attached to a treasured possession. Her richly observed illustrations make the characters and surroundings feel wonderfully real. Tender without being sentimental, the story celebrates sibling affection, generosity and the comfort of being understood when something small feels like the most important thing in the world.
