Fizzy and Bandit by Sarah Crossan, published by Bloomsbury 

A fun, heartwarming and humorous story, ideal for children aged 6 and above. 

Fizzy wants a dog. Not just any dog though – a golden dog with a black nose and very curly hair. So when a dog called Bandit who looks just like this appears in her
neighbour’s garden, Fizzy will stop at nothing to keep him – even if it means hiding poor Bandit in the laundry basket…

This delightful comedy from Ireland’s Children’s Laureate Sarah Crossan is perfect for children who are learning to read by themselves and for Key Stage 1.
