The detective dog by julia donaldson5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() * Sunday Express * A satisfying, action-filled story perfectly told, and Sara Ogilvy's illustrations are full of character. * Metro * A brilliant celebration of books, libraries and a very clever dog. Review:Ī superbly illustrated tale of clever canines and library magic in Donaldson's ever-exuberant voice. She is inspired by many things including old second-hand bookshops, old wives tales and trying to spell sounds. In addition to working on her picture books, Sara lectures in Illustration and Graphic Design at Northumbria University and continues to create work that is exhibited worldwide. The first picture book that she illustrated, Dogs Don't Do Ballet, was also shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Sara Ogilvie is an award-winning illustrator and printmaker who won the 2011 Booktrust Best New Illustrator Award. Julia and her husband Malcolm divide their time between Sussex and Edinburgh. ![]() Julia also writes fiction as well as poems, plays and songs and her brilliant live children's shows are always in demand. Her books include What the Ladybird Heard, Tyrannosaurus Drip and the modern classic The Gruffalo, which has sold over 13.5 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over sixty languages. Julia Donaldson is the outrageously talented, prize-winning author of the world's best-loved picture books, and was the 2011-2013 UK Children's Laureate. ![]()
