Reviews
Praise for Dogs in Disguise:
'A rambunctious rhyming picture-book romp ideal for fans of the "Oi!" books, full of ingenious pooches and some truly outrageous rhymes (think schnauzers in trousers and shih-tzus doing ju-jitsu). Bond's trademark wide, staring eyes and bright block colours perfectly complement Bently's bouncing text.' Guardian
'This gleeful, absurd and beautifully drawn book should be on every Christmas list' The Big Issue
'Laugh-out-loud funny!' The Independent
'An extremely well-crafted and fun story time book that will have children asking for repeat reads again and again.' BookTrust

"Mixes silliness with a Jon Klassen-like note of piquant peril . . . and an unexpected final twist make(s) for great appeal." The Guardian

The Observer
