Dogger is Dave’s beloved stuffed toy, and tears and chaos ensue when Dogger is lost – until he is finally found again. This timeless classic for reading aloud, full of simple words and detailed pictures, tells a heart-warming story of a treasured lost toy while lovingly showing the minutiae of family life. Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1977, Dogger also won the 2007 “Greenaway of Greenaways” award for the best overall winner of the coveted children’s illustration prize in the past 50 years.

Shirley Hughes

Shirley was born in West Kirby, near Liverpool, and studied fashion and dress design at Liverpool Art School, before continuing her studies at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford. She then embarked on a career as a freelance illustrator in London, where she still lives today. She illustrated other writers’ work, including Noel Streatfeild, Alison Uttley, Ian Seraillier, Margaret Mahy and notably Dorothy Edwards’s My Naughty Little Sister series.

Shirley began to write and draw her own picture books when her children were young. Her first book, Lucy and Tom’s Day, was published in 1960, and she followed it with, among others, Dogger and the Alfie series.

Shirley Hughes has won the Other Award, the Eleanor Farjeon Award, and the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration twice, for Dogger in 1977 and for Ella’s Big Chance in 2003. In 2007 Dogger was voted the public’s favourite Greenaway winner of all time. Shirley received an OBE in 1999 for services to Children’s Literature.
