Perfect children's book for animal lovers and easy for parents to read aloud too, has quite a nice flow to it with illustrations to keep younger children involved in the story.
It does have its purpose of the story with animals as well as looking after planet earth and plastics etc.
Unfortunately, it didn't really capture my daughter (9) or my son (6) imagination enough to get much from them but I do think it was more to do with the genre / subject rather than the author and style - can't really fault that. The love of animals certainly comes through in this story!

Unfortunately when I click to download this title I get an error message. Would be happy to review it if I can be resent a link, or a version that can be downloaded to kindle, thanks.

The book has a very strong message, it educates children about the huge problem of plastic pollution which is affecting our rivers and sea living animals. The story is not told in a preachy way or a way which will upset young children. It is told as an adventure with an adorable, clever and cheeky dog who has a massive heart and an instinct to help other animals. Children will fall in love with this adorable character and want to read more and consequently, the environmental issue will resonate loud and clear.

The story follows Mr Dog as he meets and helps animals who have been hurt or become entangled or trapped in discarded plastic. Mr Dog doesn’t just want to save the animals, he wants to find out where all this plastic is coming from. When he is told about a much loved elderly seal called Ditzy who has strangely vanished Mr Dog makes it his mission to find him.

The book has delightful black and white images throughout which are sure to delight children and help them engage in the story even more.
Children will adore this cheeky chappie who has a really happy, positive outlook but an inquisitive side which leads him into some exciting adventures.

The writing flows effortlessly, it would be a joy to read to a small child as a storybook because there is plenty to keep adults entertained too. Every school needs a copy of Mr Dog and the Seal Deal and it needs to be on every child’s bookshelf at home too!

As an animal lover myself, and someone who appreciates the importance of beautifully written children’s literature, I just can’t recommend this book highly enough.

This is the enjoyable story of Mr Dog and his search for a missing seal. I think this book will definitely appeal to children who love animal stories. It is commendable that Ben Fogle covers the environmental issue of waste plastic and its affect on wildlife in an informative way.

I read Mr Dog and the Rabbit Habit a short time ago and immediately fell in love with this adventurous dog. He has an endearing love for helping animals, regardless of the trouble he may get into. His heart is always in he right place and somehow he always manages to get it right!
This newest title is a brilliant introduction for younger readers into the serious state of pollution in our oceans and waterways.
Ben Fogle is also givIng these new chapter book readers a brilliant foray into meeting new animals and learning about their habitats, food needs and abilities. A book that is enjoyable and teaches new information is a fine balance to master.

I think because Ben Fogle is an animal lover, explorer and adventurer, these books and Mr Dog’s adventures come naturally to him. I want to imagine they started as stories he shared with his children and have grown into a loveable series of books.

The illustrations bring Mr Dog, Dizzy and Lulu to life and the dangers of plastics can also be appreciated by younger children.

Mr Dog is loveable and adventurous and I hope to read many more of his adventures. Who might he meet next and where will his adventures take him? Find out in Book 3!
