Book Synopsis

Dogs of all shapes and sizes star in this delightful book, but which of them is the biggest? It’s up to you to decide…

Children aged 3-5 can meet dogs big and small, with all sorts of unique and special features, in this playful picture book.

From tiny Chihuahua Agnes who loves to burrow beneath cushions, to Holly the Collie, who loves chasing her tail, this book contains a pack of adorable dogs. Each is special in their own way, but only one of these lovable pups can be the biggest. A fun surprise at the end of the book reveals just who is the BIGGEST dog in the book.

This picture book for children offers:
A charming story written by celebrated author Ben Lerwill, following Agnes the Chihuahua and her friends as they search for the Biggest Dog in the book.
Adorable illustrations of a variety of dogs by award-winning illustrator Mark Chambers.
A surprise open-out page at the very end revealing the Biggest Dog in the book.

This fun story introduces different dog breeds and involves playful repetition throughout, reinforcing new vocabulary for little ones. Written by award-winning author Ben Lerwill and illustrated by prizewinning artist Mark Chambers, this book will appeal to dog lovers everywhere and anyone who appreciates animals, no matter their size.

Our Review Panel says...

This colourful and high energy read-aloud is so much fun for early years children to enjoy, and dog-lovers especially will enjoy its playfulness.

The story follows a series of dogs, from tiny Agnes the Chihuahua to scruffy Shelby, each hoping to claim the title of the biggest dog in the book. It’s a lot of fun watching the dogs get bigger and bigger as the pages turn.

The repetitive ‘he is not the biggest dog’ refrain is perfect for shared readings, as children will quickly join in with the storytelling.

With its vibrant illustrations and a fun fold-out flap at the end, this is a joyful celebration of dogs of all shapes and sizes.
