Siggy the daschund dreams about being a soccer player. The author does have a knack for fantastic book! Thank you for putting our hero Siggy in my favorite soccer team. And playing soccer with four legs are no different from our two legs ones. So amusing, the story of Siggy. This is only a part of the well known British sport, but having hints on how it is played, is a job well done.

We love a main character that’s a dog – and Siggy the Soccer Dog does not disappoint. Siggy is always twitching and turning in his sleep – but his family has no idea that in his dreams Siggy is an all-star world famous soccer player, fighting for the biggest win of his team’s life. Let your kiddos laugh and hug their furry friends as they read along to figure out if Siggy can truly do the impossible and win his biggest game yet next to all of his doggy friends. This one is pitch perfect!

So fun! Kids will love it,

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy in exchange for my honest feedback.

This is a cute little book about a dream that dogs might have and we can explore their dreams right along with them.

Siggy is sleeping, but having quite the dream. He is playing soccer in the FA cup final on Manchester United team. He is a fan favourite with his own song, by the name of Siggy Sosidj. It is down to the last couple of minutes in the game and Siggy is put in. He is fouled, but his team can't score on the penalty kick. Siggy gets one last chance to win the game, can he score? Once again, this is a cute, wonderfully illustrated book about Siggy the dachshund who demonstrates perseverance, overcoming odds, and kindness. When Siggy is injured in the game, instead of being upset, he demonstrates good sportsmanship and offers the hand of kindness and friendship to the dog player who fouled and hurt him. I read this to the youngest two of my grandchildren and even the three year old listened to this one. The kids enjoyed the illustrations and were excited to see if Siggy would score and win the game. We talked about sportsmanship, winning at all costs and being a good teammate. We also laughed at the illustrations and all the contortions Siggy goes through. A great choice for teachers and parents when teaching about sportsmanship, kindness, and friendship.

1st Line: "Sigmund the dachshund lived in the little hamlet of Hope in the English county of Somerset."

Review: Siggy's young owner finds her dog napping in his bed, twisting and turning in the midst of a dream. A dream, it turns out, where Siggy is the star player on the Manchester United team! What plays out then, in this fun and action-packed picture book, is how Siggy and his team (all made up of different breeds of dogs) work together to win the championship game, with Siggy leading the pack! Kids who love sports or more active stories will love this especially, with full-color illustrations that are all over the page as the game gets closer and closer to its finish, Sarkany's stylishly exaggerated renderings of the dog players on both teams only adding to the feel of speed and movement to the story. Part of a series of picture books about Siggy, and even at my age will be checking out more! 4/5 stars

Siggy the Soccer Dog is a really cute, illustrated book for children about a little sausage dog called Siggy who's tasked with saving the day during a Man united game. But siggy is Siggy Sosidj (love the name) and he is the star player for the team. It all relies on him! But can he win and save the day?
This is such a fun children's book and I can see my class holding their breath to find out what happens at the end! The illustrations are so cute and I loved the characters in the book.
Siggy teaches children the value of kindness and to always be kind to others no matter what as well as supporting teamwork and taking chances with things that might scare you, being a positive thing to do.

Have you ever wondered about what your pet dreams? Siggy dreams of being a soccer star.
I’m not sure where to begin with how amazingly cute this book is! I’m in my thirties and singing and cheering for Siggy! I adore dachshunds, and Brian Frederick captures the essence of a doxie perfectly! Although I’m not familiar with soccer, it is the perfect sport for Siggy and his friends. Playing for Manchester United, Siggy and dogs from around the work together and demonstrate that there is no “I” team. This book illustrates teamwork, friendship, and kindness! Every page of this book is absolutely beautiful! Children of all ages will enjoy this adorable dachshund and his adventures.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to author Brian Frederick and @lovebookstours for my gifted copy.

My thoughts: This was such a fun children’s book and I adored the illustrations & the story. I loved the idea of Siggy dreaming he was a soccer star for Manchester United. I always wonder what my dog is dreaming about while he sleeps and seemingly twitches as well. The songs about Siggy to the tunes of Mary Poppins and Happy by Pharrell Williams were so fun. My daughter loved the whole book and asked me to read it again ands again. So well done! 😍🐶🐾

Blurb —Siggy looks so cute as he twitches and turns in his sleep.
But as they watch him, little do the family know that in his dream he is “Siggy Sosidj” the star player for Manchester United. It’s up to Siggy to rescue his team in the biggest game of his life. But can he do it?

Join Siggy and a multi-national cast of doggie players to find out - in a fast-paced, beautifully illustrated tale about overcoming the odds, staying true to your purpose and being kind…

A great story about acceptance and being kind to others. Great for any classroom library and a lesson many kids need help with.

This lovely picture book, brings whimsy and charm to this story. I love the descriptions and the very curly words.

As I read this story, I was hoping it was part of a series, as otherwise the whole soccer dream sequence could be its own story. I was glad to find out though that it is a series, and a sweet one at that! I loved the songs, and how it gave the tunes to sing them too. The illustrations were beautiful and bright. I look forward to reading more stories staring Siggy!

This is such a cute book for anyone who loves dogs or soccer. The illustrations are bright and eye catching and the story is so sweet. Siggy is dreaming that he is playing in a professional soccer game while sleeping on the floor in his families home. It's exciting for him to pay on the the team and show his skills to his other dog friends. Super cute story!

This book is so whimsical and cute. I loved reading about Siggy and love dogs! The musical lyrics were great and so much fun for kids to follow along to.

4☆ Another Super Fun Adventure With Siggy Sausage!

Once again you can count on Siggy Sausage to save the day. But this time round he's Siggy Sosidj and he's playing at Wembley Stadium for Man U.
It's up to him to save the game with only a few minutes to spare!

Once again Siggy's story is lots of fun, edge of your seat thrilling as you hold your breath in anticipation on the final whistle. The characters are very cute and well written. The illustrations are brilliant and fun. Oh and the football chants were brilliant.... they will have you humming Chim Chim Cher-ee (mary poppins) and Happy...two great tunes!

But most importantly Siggy spreads the message to always be kind no matter what. He also teaches children to be brave, take chances and that team work is important.
This book is perfect for readers ages 4-8years and I can't wait for Siggy's next Adventure!

This sweet children’s book follows dachshund Sigmund or “Siggy” through a vivid dream about being a football (soccer) star. (That’s possibly the very best dog name we’ve ever stumbled on, by the way.) As children who are especially fond of animal adventures, this story hit all the right notes for my three kids ages 8 and under. While the layout of some of the pages are a bit too wordy for early readers to navigate independently, it was the perfect read for bedtime. The illustrations are particularly immersive and the way that they spread across the pages almost like a mural is engaging and unique. Two thumbs up from all of the kids and their mom who never turns down a protagonist who happens to be a cute dog.

If your child loves soccer, she will probably also love this embedded narrative about Siggy, a verrrry long dachshund, who is dreaming about being an international soccer star as his little girl watches him sleep. I found the illustrations, in which Siggy is so long his body makes loop-di-loops and wraps around his bowl, his soccer ball, and other players on the team, distracting, but perhaps children will enjoy the extreme silliness of them. The story also includes two songs that we are told to sing to the tune of Pharell's "Happy," and Mary Poppins' "Chim Chim Cheree," which I'm sure would be a big hit with little kids.

I smiled throughout this story and especially when Siggy wakes up and has sausages and realizes, "He was even happier than when he'd scored the winning goal." And I'm sure children will like that the little girl can speak to and understand her dog even though her parents can't.

Thanks to Netgalley and BibaBooks for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for my honest review.

These books and the stories are so cute. In this book Siggy is dreaming that he is a player for none other than Man Utd.

Well written and a story that any young dog or football lover would appreciate. Beautifully illustrated from cover to cover.

Be kind is the motto throughout the story that Siggy is trying to convey.

Many thanks to Netgalley for my ARC.
