What's A Dogger?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Dogger,’ the other morning.

This book was written and illustrated by Shirley Hughes.

It’s a delightful story about a little boy called Dave who loses his favourite stuffed toy dog, but finds him again on a stall at the school summer fair.

But unfortunately when a little girl buys the stuffed dog, Dave gets quiet upset.

His sister offers to buy it back but the little girl wants to keep it; his sister shows an act of kindness and swaps a large teddy that she’d won to get her little brothers stuffed toy back.

It’s a wonderful story with great illustrations I’d definitely recommend reading this book to young children.

My final thought’s on this book is that it shows the emotions of a young boy as he looses his stuffed toy, and again when it’s found; a sad tale that ends on a positive note.

And as most children have a favourite stuffed animal, they could relate to this story.

So either read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?
