About this deal

I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! From schnauzers in trousers to cosmonaut cockapoos, this jaunty rhyming text from hugely popular, award-winning author, Peter Bently, with brilliantly witty illustrations from John Bond, creator of the Mini Rabbit books, will have children howling with laughter! After a career as a non-fiction editor, he turned to writing for children soon after the birth of his son Theo.

It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. Firstly, it has a thick, robust cover that will withstand many readings – both in the home and in other early years settings – that makes it feel high quality. books, full of ingenious pooches and some truly outrageous rhymes (think schnauzers in trousers and shih-tzus doing ju-jitsu). The son of an army bandmaster, he grew up in Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as the UK, going on to study languages at Oxford University. In this brilliantly funny picture book, lots of silly dogs in even sillier costumes demonstrate their wily way.You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! Now, I’m at least 55 years older than the intended audience for Dogs in Disguise and a cat lover but I adored this book. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated!

Well, they do and the brilliant author Peter Bently and illustrator John Bond have set out to prove it with Dogs in Disguise!This is an extremely well-crafted and fun story time book that will have children asking for repeat reads again and again, and the vocabulary and pictures are sophisticated enough to amuse adults reading and help develop children’s language development too. John Bond brilliantly captures the single-mindedness of small children…little readers will certainly want seconds. An exciting new collaboration between the Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning author Peter Bently and the incredibly talented illustrator John Bond!

and even a wee joke, Bently as ever effortlessly alliterates himself through a tongue-twisting tangle of clothes. It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. Their first title 'Dogs in Disguise' (published Sep 2021) is a hilarious, rhyming story about the secret lives of our four-legged friends. The end papers are vibrant and colourful and there’s a richness to the colours used throughout that would make group use very easy because the images are strong and captivating. John has recently joined forces with award winning author, Peter Bently, to work on a series of exciting new picture books.In this very funny and addictive book, Peter Bently and John Bond have let us readers peek beyond these pooches’ disguises to reveal just what they get up to. I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.
