Book Synopsis

Everywhere Dave goes, his favourite toy, Dogger, is ALWAYS with him.

So, when Dogger goes missing, Dave is devastated. Luckily, Dogger turns up at the school summer fair, but when he ends up at the toy stall, Dave must find a way to buy his best friend back.

With a heart warming message and delightful illustrations, Dogger has delighted children for generations. This gentle bedtime story is perfect for young readers.

"For a blast of pure nostalgia, look no further than Dogger. This timeless classic tells the tale of the love a little boy, Dave, has for his teddy. The illustrations are wonderfully warm, and the language and turn of phrase is like a big hug in story form" - The Evening Standard

Shirley Hughes is a national treasure
Delightful * Financial Times *
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 *
