Great illustrations for doggy dreams of sports triumph⚽

4.5🌟stars
This author has come up with a cute story and his lovely, stylized artwork. Siggy the Sausage Dog ends up on the soccer field (that's football in England), and gets his chance for fame and glory. Things don't go perfectly but the dachshund stays true to his "Be Kind" motto and exhibits good sportsmanship under pressure.

I've read several of author Brian Frederick's Siggy stories and this one maintains the focus on Siggy but includes other dogs of a variety of breeds as his teammates and opponents. Nice touch to extend Siggy's world to include so many new characters. It's also action packed, right up until Siggy has his Dorothy Gale moment and wakes up!

The pictures are really stellar and unique artwork. Children who get a kick (sorry for the pun!) out of sports stories and love animals will get full doses of both here.

Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.
