The Market Square Dog
Illustrated by Ruth Brown
(Macmillan Children's Books)
978-0330319294, RRP £3.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Take the quiet wisdom of a James Herriot story and add the purity of line and light of Ruth Brown's illustration and you end up with a book suitable for young and old alike. The story and illustrations complement each other so perfectly it's difficult to conjure up any other image - one is left with a gentle glow of satisfaction that exactly matches the children's smiling sighs of 'ahh!'
