Dogger — Shirley Hughes

When Dave loses his favorite toy, Dogger, he is very sad. But when Dogger turns up for sale at the neighborhood fair, everything seems all right -- until someone else buys him before Dave can get the money! This timeless classic uses simple words and detailed pictures to show the distress the loss of a toy can cause a child. Filled with humor and Shirley Hughes's artful touch, this is a book for young readers to tackle by themselves, as well as a delight to read aloud.
