Doodle Dog — Frank Rodgers

“Eye-catching �" appealingly told” - School Library Journal

Sam knew he couldn't have a real dog of his own, but his mum drew him a picture - a 'Doodle' she called it - of a beautiful black and white puppy.
Sam took it bed with him that night. The next morning he was woken by a strange tickly feeling on his cheek.
Even before he opened his eyes he knew it was 'Doodle Dog'.

“The power of a child's imagination to make a mere picture of a longed-for pet come alive is given form in Rodgers' lively drawings that convey both boy and pet's joy in each other.” - Book List
