Reviews

Praise for Dogs in Disguise:

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). Bonds trademark wide, staring eyes and bright block colours perfectly complement Bentlys bouncing text. Guardian

This gleeful, absurd and beautifully drawn book should be on every Christmas list The Big Issue
