Dog's Journey: A Goosey Farm Story
Illustrated by Paul Howard
For children who enjoy animal stories this story set on a Dartmoor farm will be a winner. Even children who don't think farm settings are for them will be able to identify with the feelings of the main character, Widget, and her brother, Tim, as they learn to love the freedom of the country and then have to realise, with the death of their dog, that freedom can be dangerous, too. Well written and with engaging characterisation, this sensitively illustrated novel makes an excellent read aloud. Also for fluent readers to enjoy for themselves.
