The book could be good for teaching rhyme, repetition and rhetorical questions as the book uses these a lot. The illustrations are clever because they are simple with the smell linking in the air; showing the children how Nell is the detective trying to find the smell of the thief. Continuing the theme of stories within stories is Nibbles: The Book Monster by Emma Yarlett (Little Tiger), about a monster who loves to munch books and chomps his way furiously into other people’s stories, represented as actual mini books within the book. With its tents that sleep 50, bad food and guards of varying dispositions, it’s the only world he knows, apart from the stories he hears in the camp, and through Jimmie, a girl from “Outside” who sneaks under the fence to meet him. One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler.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.

Following his previous attempts to find a mouse (to chase) and the moon (to say good night to), Max is now on a mission to learn to fly. Bold watercolor-and-pencil illustrations give all the characters distinct personalities and plant funny details to spot in the busy double-page spreads.
