Media Reviews
Doyle and Brown have produced a splendid picture book about a little runt of a sheep-dog, called Collywobble by his owner Farmer Joe because he is a collie and he wobbles! One of a litter of seven, Collywobble seems to be a loser; his brothers and sisters are all destined to be sheep-dogs or family pets, but no one wants the runt. Farmer Joe keeps the little dog, but has no expectations from him. The fact that Collywobble has the heart of a lion and becomes the hero of the story is not altogether unexpected, but no less heart-warming for that. The illustrations are a treat. Full of pictures of rural Wales in the snow, lots of woolly sheep, and very endearing dogs, they are wonderfully evocative of the countryside and superbly drawn. This is a book all the family will enjoy and will cause a run on sheep-dog puppies in the coming months!
