Little, Brown Books for Young Readers ISBN 9781510201255 £6.99
A sweetly, funny story about a boy and his dog told with great warmth, humour and empathy. It’s a typical tale of the underdog overcoming adversity, in this case the main character, Billy and his real live dog, Dog. This story will appeal to children who love animals as well as those who love a story with a happy ending. It does deal with some tough topics such as death and grief but overall is positive and upbeat. Age range: 9-11.
