Reviews

Dixie and Percy are dogs. Dogs who are best friends. Best friends who love to go on adventures together. In their latest adventure, the friends swap four wheels for two. They may have less wheels to worry about but there's more trouble in store for them with plenty of bumps, bangs and of course crashes. Will the two pooch pals survive whizzing around the world - especially when a new friend enters the frame? This is a lovely book with short chapters and beautiful illustrations that help guide the reader through Dixie and Percy's latest adventure. Children will enjoy trying to read this text as an introduction to longer stories but will equally enjoy listening to a chapter before they are put down to bed. Recommended for children aged 5 - 8 and especially those who love dogs, adventures and fun.
