review 1: Michael Morpurgo never disappoints me. This is one of his shorter stories , accompanied by Michael Foreman's beautiful illustrations. A brother and sister discover the story behind a wooden toy dog which belonged to their mother. As in many of his books, I appreciate the author's note explaining the background to the story. This book has an additional note by Michael Foreman, relating to the 1966 World Cup finale between England and West Germany.
review 2: Like all of Morpurgo's books, this one contains animals, children and life lessons. I debated giving it five stars - it is a lovely story, with beautiful illustrations, but it annoys me a little that it isn't quite the true story of the little dog that now lives in the Imperial War Museum. Something like it... more...he was built by a German POW, and most kids probably wouldn't care to know the real story. less
