Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
This delightful book is by the creators of # 1 bestselling picture book, "The Detective Dog" - winner of the Books Are My Bag Reader's Award. "The Detective Dog" has sold over half a million copies and has been translated into over 20 languages to date.
Dot, a sweet Dalmatian, and her owner Rose, are doing wonderful volunteer work at their local hospital. Dot loves to go there and offer herself for pats, hugs and companionship to those afraid and hurting in so many different ways.
After the two prepare themselves for their day off they go by bus to the hospital. Wallaby Ward children's wing is waiting for their arrival and are always glad for their visits.
After a successful time of cheering up a diverse group of patients Dot and Rose head back home. Unfortunately an accident occurs and Dot becomes injured. Her brave heart and caring nature brings it about. Will Dot receive the love and support from others that she so deserves?
Written in rhyme the fantastic text is enriched by beautiful ink drawings that are full of action and expression. Thousands of books are being gifted to children in hospitals in partnership with Read for Good. I highly recommend this book.
