 You can see and hear some of them here...

Kirkus Reviews (USA) - 'A tail-wagging delight for budding Coco Chanels everywhere.'

June 2012 Debut of the Month. (Lovereading 4 kids) - 'From an important and exciting new author/illustrator - a hugely original new talent - comes a riot of canine fun, bound to attract appreciative tail-wagging from dog fans! Featuring a royal guest star at the end it's perfectly timed in 2012 for Jubilee celebrations. This is truly an irresistibly stylish picture book with minimal text and dreamlike illustrations. It's a book with real heart.'

The Daily Telegraph by Dinah Hall - 'Archie by Domenica More Gordon (Bloomsbury, £12.99) is a dapper dog with a knack for tailoring. When he makes his little terrier a coat, everyone in the neighbourhood wants one. There are few words beyond the occasional sound effect and admiring exclamation but brilliantly expressive illustrations say it all.'
