This story begins with a dog。 It ends with getting the whole community involved。 I read this with a 3 1/2 year old。 She pointed at all the things she recognized with excitement。 There are several lines on each page （sometimes more） describing the sleuth like details。 Kids who can read by themselves will enjoy it too。

I love this book， as does my two year old。 It has a wonderful performative rhythm to it， and Sara Ogilvie's illustrations are gorgeous， and detailed enough for children of all ages to pick out features for their learning across the curriculum。Julia Donaldson mixes up the sentence structures throughout the book， giving LOs around cohesion and authorial method。 There are many instances of alliteration， repetition and a mix of tenses to investigate also。But central to the story is the theme of righ I love this book， as does my two year old。 It has a wonderful performative rhythm to it， and Sara Ogilvie's illustrations are gorgeous， and detailed enough for children of all ages to pick out features for their learning across the curriculum。Julia Donaldson mixes up the sentence structures throughout the book， giving LOs around cohesion and authorial method。 There are many instances of alliteration， repetition and a mix of tenses to investigate also。But central to the story is the theme of right and wrong， forgiveness， kindness and redemption which children of all ages can understand。 And。 more discretely， Donaldson has subtly sewn the love of books into the narrative: the luminous library and colourful classroom end the picture book with a happy teacher， happy pupils and a happy dog。（Dad and daughter are happy readers too）。 。。。more

"Кучето детектив" или както го нарича Руен， на 2。5 г。 - "Детективото куче"， е чудесна книга с превъзходни илюстрации （става идеално и за игра на "виждам， виждам"） и приятна "поука"。 Преводът на Мария Донева， е очаквано мелодичен， ритмичен и с удоволствие наизустяем， като единствените ни забележки са， че на български пицата съвсем никога не се нарича "пай" и шапката - ако се вгледате， скъпи деца， драги читатели и преводачи :Р - е забравена на опразнената от книги полица， а не на пода， който и не "Кучето детектив" или както го нарича Руен， на 2。5 г。 - "Детективото куче"， е чудесна книга с превъзходни илюстрации （става идеално и за игра на "виждам， виждам"） и приятна "поука"。 Преводът на Мария Донева， е очаквано мелодичен， ритмичен и с удоволствие наизустяем， като единствените ни забележки са， че на български пицата съвсем никога не се нарича "пай" и шапката - ако се вгледате， скъпи деца， драги читатели и преводачи :Р - е забравена на опразнената от книги полица， а не на пода， който и не е бял。 。。。more

Не мина много време след появата на Грузулака на български език и ето， че Джулия Доналдсън вече се бе наредила сред любимите автори и на родните малки читатели и техните родители。 И напълно заслужено！ Че кой не обича оригинални истории със запомнящи се герои， разказани със закачливи рими и придружени от прекрасни илюстрации？ Всички тези отличителни черти， които сме свикнали да присъстват в книгите на Доналдсън са отново на лице и в нейното интригуващо стихотворно криминале за най-малките – „Куче Не мина много време след появата на Грузулака на български език и ето， че Джулия Доналдсън вече се бе наредила сред любимите автори и на родните малки читатели и техните родители。 И напълно заслужено！ Че кой не обича оригинални истории със запомнящи се герои， разказани със закачливи рими и придружени от прекрасни илюстрации？ Всички тези отличителни черти， които сме свикнали да присъстват в книгите на Доналдсън са отново на лице и в нейното интригуващо стихотворно криминале за най-малките – „Кучето детектив” （изд。 „Жанет 45”）。 За първи път имаме удоволствието да се порадваме на илюстрации от талантливата Сара Огилви， а преводът и този път е， то се знае， от Мария Донева。 Прочетете ревюто на „Книжни Криле”: https://knijnikrile。wordpress。com/202。。。 。。。more

Dogs that children read to， someone learning to borrow books from the library， a forgetful child - it’s lovely。 Madeleine’s favourite part was when the books got stolen。

I will start by saying I *love* Donaldson's writing， rhyming and rhythm。 And I love a good dog book。 And my kids really loved it。 My one issue with this one is the "thief" why is he pictured the way that he is？ How can he be an adult that can read， but not have heard of or know of the library until the kids swoop in and save the day？ Why would he only steal from a children's school library？ Maybe I'm thinking too hard about a children's book， but the whole thing made me uncomfortable。 I will start by saying I *love* Donaldson's writing， rhyming and rhythm。 And I love a good dog book。 And my kids really loved it。 My one issue with this one is the "thief" why is he pictured the way that he is？ How can he be an adult that can read， but not have heard of or know of the library until the kids swoop in and save the day？ Why would he only steal from a children's school library？ Maybe I'm thinking too hard about a children's book， but the whole thing made me uncomfortable。 。。。more

A cute book about a dog who sniffs out a thief。 Rhyming and meter are good。 <<（view spoiler）[>>I was a little creeped out that a strange man has broken into a school classroom and stolen all the kids' books and that they track him to an abandoned area， but if you can ignore that， it's a good book。 （hide spoiler）] A cute book about a dog who sniffs out a thief。 Rhyming and meter are good。 <<（view spoiler）[>>I was a little creeped out that a strange man has broken into a school classroom and stolen all the kids' books and that they track him to an abandoned area， but if you can ignore that， it's a good book。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

This would be a great mystery book for students that are 1st through 3rd grade。 Nell is the best fictional dog that goes to school every Monday with his owner to listen to kids read。 One day， the books went missing so Nell took the class on a hunt to find out where they were。 They finally found the thief and he wanted to borrow the books， he did not mean to steal them。 After Nell heard the thief mention he only wanted to borrow the books to read， he had an idea！ Nell lead the class to the librar This would be a great mystery book for students that are 1st through 3rd grade。 Nell is the best fictional dog that goes to school every Monday with his owner to listen to kids read。 One day， the books went missing so Nell took the class on a hunt to find out where they were。 They finally found the thief and he wanted to borrow the books， he did not mean to steal them。 After Nell heard the thief mention he only wanted to borrow the books to read， he had an idea！ Nell lead the class to the library and introduced Ted （the thief） to the wonderful world of library books！ He was told he could choose any book to borrow and was able to understand and learn about the library！ WOW！ Nell is the best detective dog！This book would be great for predicting what will happen and has many rhyming words。 This would be great and easy for students to use for sequencing events。 There are many activities you could use with this book for students。 Some students may have never been to a library before so this would be a great time for that discussion。 I love that the illustrations are on the majority of the pages！ This helps students really see the details and be "involved" in the story！ Dogs are my favorite and just learning how important Nell thinks reading is for students is awesome！ Students would really love this book as they learn the importance of reading。 This could also be a great discussion for students on why Nell is reading with students。 He could be a support dog and students could learn about therapy dogs！ 。。。more

Detective Dog Nell is great at tracking down lost things。 She goes into school on a Monday to listen to children read （what a fab idea？！） and even as a dog she appears to be very enthusiastic about all the books and everything they can offer。 Except one day the school is empty and all the books are gone！ On finding the books Ted， the thief， is shown to the library when he can take as many books as he likes。This story emphasises a love of books and would help to introduce libraries to young reade Detective Dog Nell is great at tracking down lost things。 She goes into school on a Monday to listen to children read （what a fab idea？！） and even as a dog she appears to be very enthusiastic about all the books and everything they can offer。 Except one day the school is empty and all the books are gone！ On finding the books Ted， the thief， is shown to the library when he can take as many books as he likes。This story emphasises a love of books and would help to introduce libraries to young readers who might have no idea what a library is or have never had the opportunity to visit one。 。。。more
