Review:
What a joyful book this is! We thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. My favourite part was the fans singing (because yes I did sing it aloud to the mentioned tune!!!)
As a person who in reality does not care for football and has a crippling fear of dogs there was potential for this book to be somewhat of a disaster. It was however, the complete opposite. I loved every page of it!! There’s something magical about the dreams of an adorable little sausage dog and who doesn’t dream of being famous and winning the day. We can all relate even if we don’t dream about football.
The illustrations really caught my attention - they have such a distinctive style that I have not seen before. Very striking and bold.
Little Bookworm also enjoyed this book. She enjoys watching football with her dad who is a Man United supporter so she was very pleased with the team choices. She was most put out when Siggy got hurt and really got swept up in the excitement of the book.
A book of pure fun that is ideal for little ones and their grown ups alike.
Blurb:
“Siggy looks so cute as he twitches and turns in his sleep.
But as they watch him, little do the family know that in his dream he is “Siggy Sosidj” the star player for Manchester United. It’s up to Siggy to rescue his team in the biggest game of his life. But can he do it?
Join Siggy and a multi-national cast of doggie players to find out – in a fast-paced, beautifully illustrated tale about overcoming the odds, staying true to your purpose and being kind….”
Author Bio:
Children’s book author Brian Frederick enjoyed creating his own worlds and being an insatiable reader from an early age, and his Siggy the Sausage Dog books have won awards and substantial acclaim.
Brian grew up in Northern Ireland, during “the Troubles” and went to a school
where CS Lewis was once a pupil and Samuel Beckett briefly taught. A young Brian made the sports page headlines as a champion swimmer and he admits he may have been more dedicated to training than to his studies at times.
After school, a legal career beckoned and he pursued it, but it turns out that Brian likes being a writer more than being a lawyer.
“I much prefer writing stories to writing writs,” he quips
