Synopsis

Once there was a soft brown dog called Dogger. One of his ears pointed upwards and the other flopped over. He belonged to Dave who was very fond of him and took him everywhere. This endearing tale of how Dogger was lost and found was the winner of the British Library Association's Kate Greenaway Medal for 1977.

Review:

"This is Hughes' most heartwarming picture book ... Hughes has a kindly, inexhaustible eye - she misses nothing ... Her drawing is invariably superb and usually describes a reassuring world for children - sometimes happier-than-thou. She has illustrated more than 200 titles - she is a virtuoso" -- Kate Kellaway Observer "Shirley Hughes is a national treasure" -- Philip Pullman "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
