Dogger

the much-loved children’s classic

  • Shirley Hughes



A classic picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Shirley Hughes tells the familiar and reassuring story of how a much-loved toy is lost and finally found again. This new Book and CD edition is read by acclaimed actress, Olivia Colman.

Praise for Dogger

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
