My Review

I have a one year old Jack Russell called Patch who loves Dachshunds. Probably because at her socialisation play sessions she met one called Arlo and they became best friends. I’m sure she’d adore Siggy as much as we do.

Mrs Chana has lost her bag.
“Oh no! My bag!” she cried.
“Help me! It’s my daughter’s surprise birthday present!”

So Siggy gave chase. He ran past Vivian the artist. He told her that he was in a hurry.
“No problem, Siggy,” she called.
“Come back later. I’ll have some Hortobagyi for you.”
Hortobagyi are pancakes stuffed with all sorts of delicious things that sausage dogs like.

And so it went on, until Siggy caught up with the bag. He was so pleased that he could give it back to Mrs Chana. There was so much food he loved, and Siggy decided that he liked Hortobagyi pancakes, and he adored Fairy Cake, but in the end there is only one thing a sausage dog likes best and that is, of course, sausages.

This is such a lovely book for children and dog lovers alike. The illustrations are whimsical and delightful, and perfectly suit the magical elements of the story.

About the Author

Children’s book author Brian Frederick was an insatiable reader from an early age, becoming particularly inspired by the Narnia books.  After that, he always wanted to be a writer and began creating his own fictional worlds, winning praise and awards for his early stories. 

Brian grew up in Northern Ireland, during “the Troubles” and went to a posh school where CS Lewis was once a pupil, and Samuel Beckett briefly taught. A young Brian made the sports page headlines as a champion swimmer and he admits he may have been more dedicated to training than to his studies at times. 

After school, a legal career beckoned and he pursued it, but it turns out that Brian likes being a writer more than being a lawyer. “I much prefer writing stories to writing writs,” he quips. 

WHAT DO I CARE ABOUT SAYS BRIAN? 

“I don’t know if stories for children can change the world, but I hope they can make it a little better – certainly for my readers. 

“I hope I can bring a little more joy into the world, and a little more truth and kindness. 

“I do care that these and other important things are often in short supply when they needn’t be. Maybe we can change that together…”
