The dog and duck concept might sound like a pub name, but this simple yet very well-written and beautifully rhythmic narrative featuring a Scottie dog and a duckling is a big favourite with 2-5 year olds.
Lynley Dodd's books are generally popular with the preschool class I teach: whether Scarface Claw, Slinki Malinki, or the perennial favourite Hairy Maclary... the stories are much-loved and much-requested. But this is the hands-down, runaway favourite.
The story is - for a Lynley Dodd - on the easy side. Children love the rhyme scheme accompanying Hairy Maclary's elements of the narrative and particularly enjoy the routine loud/simple interruptions to the rhyme provided by Zachary Quack's entrances into the narrative. ... Read More:

An excellent book full of hilariously good flip o rama,comics and the same line at the end it says in the book "you'll get nowhere in life if you keep on writing silly books like that"said his teacher.And he ended up writing one of the best books I ever read. My favourite bit was when the granny and grandpa turned into superheros. Every line I read was good -brilliant even. You might need to read Captain Underpants and the Bionic Booger Boy Part 1 and then read Captain Underpants and the Bionic Booger Boy Part 2 and then read this book. I didnt read them in the right order so I didn't really understand what was happening at all but any one else who reads this book might prefer to read them in order. I recommend this for 5 and over easy to read. I read ... Read More:

I recently bought this book (and also the first 1000 Words in German) for our daughter. The book is very good, but American parents may need to make some changes in order to speak the same "language" that your child is learning. There are around 100 absolutely BRITISH words in the book where you might need to also write the American English word, so that your child learns both. (For example Lorry, Sticking Plaster, Petrol, Pram, Push-Chair to name a few...are not used in America.) Otherwise it is a great book.

I had a very special and close friend read a piece from this book at my wedding blessing on saturday 4th aug 07, everyone who heard it said how wonderful it was and as a consecquence i am ordering more copies today for friends and .....the vicar who loved the meanings contained within it. In today's fickle world this book is a must for revisiting your childhood and the true meaning of love and care.

I saw this book in a bookshop and was completely knocked out by it - all other nativity picture books pale in comparison. This is without doubt the most striking book of any genre that I have come across for a long time. Every aspect of the design is absolutely stunning from beginning to end. The illustrations are bold yet detailed silhouettes set against bright backgrounds in strong rich colours. Each double page has one of these large strong images with additional silhouette imagery set into silver foliage of Christmas plants. The text is straightforward yet classic, about 8 lines worth per page in a large font, and this is the perfect balance of story depth making the book worthwhile for all ages yet keeping the text light enough to be an attractive picture ...

My toddler Charlie enjoyed this pocket book set so much from the age of 18 months until 2 years and a half. He first loved to take the books out and back in the book case and he then really liked to lift all the little flap windows and see what was behind. At one point he got so attached to his little Noddy's book case that we had to travel with it, which again it is brilliant as it takes very little space in the luggage. My son learnt a lot about colours and shapes and learnt many new words with this gift and I highly recommend it.
