Figgie Hobbin was first published in 1970 and has remained in print ever since. We are grateful to Macmillan for help in using this illustration.
Monty, the Dog Who Wears Glasses
(HarperCollinsChildren'sBooks)
978-0006736813, RRP £3.50, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Another amusing addition to the excellent 'Jets' series. As well as wearing glasses, Monty has other human traits: greed, curiosity and an endearing incompetence in carrying out his good intentions. The combination of clear print, humorous direct narrative and supporting cartoons make this an ideal book for the beginner reader to enjoy with confidence.
