A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month August 2020

Penny, the notorious dog-napper, has a host of dogs already but there is one very special dog she is determined to get her hands on. Quick, clever, a master of disguise and very good at problem solving, he is the dog she wants. And he is covered in spots so should be easy to find. Penny’s assistant Pat sets out to find the dog. Can the dog-nappers catch their prize or will they be outwitted by the super-smart dog? Emma Lazell’s energetic and vivid illustrations inject this simple story with great energy.

A funny, exciting story about a clever, spotty dog and a pair of rather silly, dastardly villains! We loved the chaotic, colourful and fun illustrations and the satisfying ending. One to read and enjoy over and over again!

My little boy loved this book. He enjoyed seeing all the different spotty animals and figuring out as the book went on that Penny and Pat are the villains, not the heroes of the story! He loves animals, so he thought it was great fun that the rather silly Pat kept on getting mixed up with what sort of animal he was meant to be stealing for the dastardly Penny. There were lots of giggles when he found the very long, spotty snake and the "far too hoppy" rabbit. By far the most satisfying part of the story for both of us, though, was when the clever, spotty dog brings the police to the door and the villainous pair are taken away in handcuffs! The illustrations were bright, fun and chaotic with loads to look at on every page.... Read Full Review

Fun and interesting.

This is all about a clever spotty dog who stops the robbers. I liked the dog helping the police catch the bad guys. The spotty dog was very funny and Pat the robber was silly because he kept getting the wrong animals! The pictures were all very fun too!

Sarah (Mum) - Milo loved reading this book to me. Easy to follow and very funny.... Read Full Review

Spotty animals everywhere and one VERY clever Spotty Dog!

We really liked the illustrations. And we liked the cleverness of the book titles in the pile of books e.g. ‘to sit or not to sit'.
Frankie liked when Pat kept getting it wrong and how clever Spotty Dog was to lead the police to arrest them.... Read Full Review
