But if all that sounds quite worthy, the real success of Dogs in Disguise is that it is an absolute joy. In this brilliantly funny picture book, lots of silly dogs in even sillier costumes demonstrate their wily way. The end papers are vibrant and colourful and there’s a richness to the colours used throughout that would make group use very easy because the images are strong and captivating. In this brilliantly funny rhyming picture book, lots of silly dogs in even sillier costumes demonstrate their wily ways, blending in (or not) to their environments like the doggy geniuses they are. John Bond brilliantly captures the single-mindedness of small children…little readers will certainly want seconds.

I do have my usual small criticism in children’s books that I prefer not to have words entirely in upper case letters in the middle of sentences, as I prefer to model expected use more conventionally. Bond’s trademark wide, staring eyes and bright block colours perfectly complement Bently’s bouncing text.

The text by Peter Bently is very funny too; what’s more it is in rhyme, making this great book even greater for the younger ones. Growing up on a farm in the Cotswolds, he went on to study a degree in Illustration at Kingston University, London.Dressing up in clothing they find at home, these adventurous pooches blend into the crowd at all the places dogs aren? The son of an army bandmaster, he grew up in Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as the UK, going on to study languages at Oxford University.

Some have full rhyme like ‘big’ and ‘wig’, but on other occasions the rhymes are homophones for example, so that Dogs in Disguise could be a brilliant tool for teaching developing writing. This rhyming tale of a villainous Highway Rat is the latest book from Children’s Laureate Julian Donaldson and her Gruffalo collaborator Axel Scheffler. An exciting new collaboration between the Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning author Peter Bently and the incredibly talented illustrator John Bond!They bring a real smile to the face and I can imagine young children laughing with joy at some of the dogs’ antics, especially when Barney disguises himself as a tree!
