Meet a Dog Called Dorian

Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by their own mistakes or when you simply need to inject some belly-aching laughter into a stressful afternoon. It is the perfect remedy for a day where things felt a bit too serious, offering a world where being 'daft' is not just okay, but genuinely delightful. The story follows the hilarious misadventures of Dorian, a highly enthusiastic but incredibly clumsy dog, and Inspector Challoner, a detective who is consistently outsmarted by the chaos around him. Through their silly interactions involving jam doughnuts and frisbees, children learn that imperfection is a part of life and that logic is often overrated. It is a gentle, absurdist escape that prioritizes joy and creative thinking over being 'right.' The whimsical British garden setting provides a safe, cozy backdrop for these high-energy antics, making it an excellent choice for kids aged 4 to 8 who appreciate slapstick humor and the endearing loyalty of animals.
