## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A heartwarming classic for little readers
*by  on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 26 October 2025*

My 4 yo daughter absolutely loved Dogger! The story feels very close and relatable for young children, capturing real emotions in such a gentle way. The illustrations are adorable and have that lovely vintage charm. It’s a beautifully written, meaningful story that helps little ones understand kindness, empathy and emotional growth. A true classic we’ll treasure for years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love The Illustrations
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 27 July 2015*

Not only is the story a good one, but Shirley Hughes' wonderful drawings are the star. My preschool granddaughters picked up on the wonderfu thing she does in her heavily people-populated pages - she places important characters in the background so that you can trace their movements to the climax of the story. You might not realize it the first time through - I didn't - but my five year old granddaughter did. "She's on another page," and so she was. there's a whole bunch to look at and though the book is a classic, it looks really fresh.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book 4&6 years old
*by  on Reviewed in Turkey 3 October 2025*

Peaceful. My kids are bilingual and they could easily pick the whole content
