| 5 / 5 | Spy Dog's amazing success
Willis "motown_david" (UK) - 19 September 2005 I may be a little biased as I feature in the last chapter, taking an emotional assembly when Sophie, Ben and Ollie are reunited with their pet dog BUT I have read this novel to two of my classes at school and they are enthralled by Andrew's skill at spinning a yarn. He came into our school on Friday to introduce us to Lara, his real life spy dog, and the children were enraptured by his manner. They also loved Lara, a real mutt if ever I saw one! A highly recommended read for middle juniors, especially reluctant boy readers.... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | SPY DOG ROCKS!!!!!!
- 11 April 2006 This fantastic book kept my 5 and 7 year olds completely enthralled. It is well written, and easy to read aloud, making the most reluctant reader desperate to find out what happens next. The humour is pitched at a level that children and adults can enjoy; a lovely book to share. We are looking forward VERY much to Spy Dog 2. |
| 5 / 5 | MY SON LOVES IT !
Leeds lass "The Banker" (England) - 15 January 2008 I have just ordered the other 2 spy dog books for my son - he loves this one - he read 39 pages right off last night - i had to go in and MAKE him put it down and turn the light off - LOL !!!! (This is not the same son who is going to be a fire fighter by the way - i would be extremely worried if it were....) |
| 5 / 5 | My class love this book!
E. Heckingbottom "elaineheck143" (U.K.) - 5 November 2007 This is one of the few books that has got my weaker readers involved in reading - in fact, last year's class were virtually fighting over the series. Comments such as 'It's not fair. I finished Book 2 last week, and she's hardly started Book 3. Can you ask her to hurry up - or get another copy' were abounding once I had produced the books! As far as I'm concerned - if a book can get a child interested in reading, it's well worth it! Keep writing, please, Andrew Cope! My class long to read more of Lara'a adventures! (Do you visit schools in Essex?)... Read Full Review » |
| 4 / 5 | Spy Dog -James Bond meets Dick King Smith/Roald Dahl?
- 15 September 2005 Here is an animal book in the Dick King Smith vein. One of the villains is described in the way we might expect Roald Dahl to write and his fate similar - a bitten bottom! An extraordinary dog turns spy, with all the gadgetry of a junior James Bond. Aimed at the junior age group its appeal will be to boys. To say 'it's not for girls' would probably be as true as to say the same of Yorkie bars! Were it not that I know the author I might be tempted to give it a five star rating. Objectively, it's definitely worth a read. |
