Our Review Panel says...

Mother and daughter duo Shirley Hughes and Clara Vulliamy offer a perfect first chapter book series for emerging readers, all about a bowtie-wearing dog and his friendly driving companion Percy. In this story, the duo enter an All-Day Car Race and find themselves up against a villainous rival called Lou Ella. With a gentle but pacey story, never too much text on each page and added comic details in the illustrations, this is a winner for those not wishing to be overwhelmed by a longer read.
