Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. It is probably a surprise that dogs wear disguises, but in fact, fashionable red setters are roaming our streets in their trendy outfits. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). There’s a natural rhythm to the writing that makes the book easy to read aloud with a smashing rhyme scheme that increases vocabulary and means the book can also be used as a game as non-reading children guess the word to rhyme with the previous one.

They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.Bond’s trademark wide, staring eyes and bright block colours perfectly complement Bently’s bouncing text.

It might offer all manner of educational uses, but most of all this children’s book is witty and vibrant, arrestingly and charmingly illustrated, and enormous fun to read.Their first title 'Dogs in Disguise' (published Sep 2021) is a hilarious, rhyming story about the secret lives of our four-legged friends. The end papers are vibrant and colourful and there’s a richness to the colours used throughout that would make group use very easy because the images are strong and captivating. Now, I’m at least 55 years older than the intended audience for Dogs in Disguise and a cat lover but I adored this book. The rhythm makes this a great one to readaloud to young dog enthusiasts or those those who just love a bit of silliness!

In this very funny and addictive book, Peter Bently and John Bond have let us readers peek beyond these pooches’ disguises to reveal just what they get up to. Growing up on a farm in the Cotswolds, he went on to study a degree in Illustration at Kingston University, London. In this brilliantly funny rhyming picture book, lots of silly dogs in even sillier costumes demonstrate their wily ways, blending in (or not) to their environments like the doggy geniuses they are.Well, they do and the brilliant author Peter Bently and illustrator John Bond have set out to prove it with Dogs in Disguise! This is an extremely well-crafted and fun story time book that will have children asking for repeat reads again and again, and the vocabulary and pictures are sophisticated enough to amuse adults reading and help develop children’s language development too. Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated!
