Part of a bigger series of stories about Trevor and his dog Streaker this humorous tale stands alone well and is sure to entertain developing readers aged 6 - 9. With short chapters, interesting illustrations and plenty of silly antics I can see this being very appealing to many of my pupils.

Doing a bit of research on children's books and thought this was highly entertaining.

Jeremy Strong has a particular way of setting up his stories which allows you to anticipate the ending from the first chapter. You can also anticipate a few attempts that are bound to fail, lots of slapstick humour and you have the entire story. If this were a book for older readers, I would complain about predictability, flatness etc. But since this is a book for children I think this writing strategy is quite useful especially if you take the time to teach your child to spot the clues and the plot structure. Also, the story is about dogs and who can resist a good dog story?
