BERTIE THE BLITZ DOG
by Libby Parker
One extraordinary dog, a family in peril and a country turned upside-down by war. Can Bertie reunite everyone before it's too late?
Stranded in a war-torn London, pampered Bertie is cold, alone and scared. Now that his owner has passed away he has to learn the ways of a stray dog on the streets. Luckily he has the help of his new friends in the community, both those on two legs and on four.
But Bertie doesn't expect the Blitz and the horror it brings, or how some Londoners might start to resent pets in such difficult times. He also doesn't expect to find love again in the arms of one special little boy.
When his second chance of happiness is threatened Bertie knows he needs to do whatever he can to protect it, no matter what dangers lie in his path. With bombs raining down on London streets, can this small dog with the big heart help the ones he loves before it's too late?

THE DETECTIVE DOG
by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Sara Ogilvie
There once was a dog with a keen sense of smell. She was known far and wide as Detective Dog Nell.
Peter's dog Nell has an amazing sense of smell. Whether it's finding a lost shoe or discovering who did a poo on the new gravel path, her ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. But Nell has other talents too. Every Monday she goes to school with Peter and listens to children read. So who better to have on hand when they arrive one morning to discover that the school's books have all disappeared! Who could have taken them? And why? There's only one dog for the job . . . and Detective Dog Nell is ready to sniff out the culprit!
Written by the brilliant Julia Donaldson and stunningly illustrated by the multi-talented illustrator and printmaker Sara Ogilvie, The Detective Dog is a fast-paced celebration of books, reading, libraries, and the relationship between a little boy and his rather special dog.

THE DOG
by Helen Mixter, illustrated by Margarita Sarda
The uncomplicated love and dedication of a dog can make anyone feel better—particularly a child who is small and vulnerable.
Through beautiful, simple illustrations and words, The Dog shows how one animal helps a young boy who is ill. She is his comfort, his companion, and his friend; when he's unhappy, she places her paw on his hand to show him she's there.
This is a story for young children, and for anyone who has ever owned a pet. But most of all, it shows how important animal companionship is for children.
The warmth of animal friends helps make life worth living, especially when times are tough.
