 Description:
This is a children's book based on the adventures of three very unusual friends

get into unusual situations. By working together, and with some help from
friends they meet on the way they always come out on top. Based on two agility
dogs- no one knows where the mouse came from - and written by an agility
widower. Dedicated to Acecliffe Star Blazer (aka Rupert)

us about your experience with this product?
I bought this perfect little paperback to
read to my grandchildren of three and five years. The younger is a a little girl
who loves the idea of the two curly poodles rescuing everyone and having happy
endings while the older little boy enjoyed being caught up with the dogs
escaping from their battles and adventures.
What did you like about this
book?
All three adventure stories
have their little twists to them so expect the unexpected when reading them. It
keeps everyone interested.
The two dogs and their cheeky little mouse
friend drive steam trains and capture an evil gang. They travel to the moon and
stop an attempt to conquer the earth. They even get caught in a storm at sea and
get shipwrecked on a desert island. After some help from some very unusual
friends, they arrive home safely.
What could
be improved?
Loved the book as it is.
What did you think of the design
of this book?
This book is nice and light
to handle, with easy to read paragraphs that a seven, eight or nine year olds can
easily cope with. Complete with twenty four endearing black and white illustrations which
match up very nicely with the story.
