Praise for Dogs in Disguise by Peter Bently and John Bond -

”'A rambunctious rhyming picture-book romp ideal for fans of the 'Oi!' books, full of ingenious pooches and some truly outrageous rhymes (think schnauzers in trousers and shih-tzus doing ju-jitsu). Bond’s trademark wide, staring eyes and bright block colours perfectly complement Bently’s bouncing text.” - Guardian
