About this title

Review:

The action is fast moving and children will become quickly involved in the humour of the story... the illustrations are as comical as the tale itself. (School Library Journal)

A gentle introduction to paintings for five to seven year olds who will enjoy finding out what mayhem and consternation ensue when the dogs in the picture take a midnight holiday - and return in the morning to the wrong paintings. (Times)

Get to know Meredith Hooper as both a storyteller and a master of non-fiction picture books for the very young - a rare combination. A perfect introduction to museum visits (and an ideal souvenir to return home to) - and great fun. (The Ultimate First Book Guide)
