This is the delightfully illustrated story of Nell, the detective dog who the author shares in rhyme all the wonderful ways she finds things around the house and the neighborhood. There was even a day she became a hero dog when her famous sniffer saved the day. (No spoilers from me!)I read this book with Year 1 and they loved it. It is a great book for book discussion as there are so many questions to ask!

Discover Julia Donaldson stories to spark the imagination of your little one, plus the latest events and activities based on her bestselling books, in The Gruffalo and Other Stories newsletter. One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Most children love acting and it’s a tremendous way to improve their reading.

There are some Julia Donaldson books that don't work for me (Highway Rat being a good example) but this one does. It's nice to see a fresh illustrator take on Donaldson's work and I think Sara Ogilvie is fantastic. The expressions, movement and graceful shape of the protagonist: Nell the dog. This is a beautiful story about not just Nell, but about the love of books, and libraries, and kids, and community. Nell has a very strong sense of smell and she uses this to solve crimes. Can you find out about dogs that help the police? Could you think of some questions to ask a police dog handler? This is a brand new Julia Donaldson! How exciting! I don't know how well it will do being a hardcover, I find a lot of parents are averse to buying hardcover books for their kids, at least in my shop. Peter’s dog Nell has an amazing sense of smell. Her ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work solving mysteries and finding all Peter’s lost toys. But Nell has other talents too . .

Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta. Flamboyant colors, zany perspectives and a neatly circular tale lead, with satisfying inevitability, to a happy outcome for all but the thieves.” — Washington Post on What the Ladybug Heard To look at, read aloud and listen to, this book is a delight.” The Sunday Times, Children’s Book of the Week Written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by the multi-talented illustrator and print-maker 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. I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books.
