"A wonderful story of courage, bravery, loyalty and friendship."
Early Years Educator

"Based on the true American story from World War One the atmospheric illustrations and simple text of Stubby gives a moving insight into the horrors of the war as seen through the story of the exceptional contribution of a stray dog."
Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading4Kids

"Its lessons are important for each new generation, and learning them via the tale of a hero hound, told by a master storyteller-illustrator, is as good a means as any."
Evening Echo
