The phrase ‘it’s a dog’s life’ takes on a whole new meaning in this quirky picture book. Raymond is an ordinary dog, who for a time leads an extraordinary life. Happy with his owners, and sharing most thing with them, Raymond wonders what it would be like to really be part of the family and starts walking on his hind legs. One thing leads to another, and before long Raymond has got himself a high powered job at Dogue magazine, then as a TV presenter. But it’s all work and no play, and soon Raymond is dreaming of his old life and that comfy spot on the floor by the sofa. The message won’t be lost on adult readers while children will delight in Raymond’s extraordinary adventures. ~ Andrea Reece
