When Dave loses his favourite toy, Dogger, he is desolate. But then Dogger turns up at the school summer fair, and everything seems all right - until someone else buys him before Dave can get the money! This timeless picture book has lost none of its appeal and is still a tale to which all children and their parents can relate.

Industry Reviews
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 chidlren - sometimes happier-than-thou. She has illustrated more than 200 titles - she is a virtuoso * Observer *
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 *
