Dogger by Shirley Hughes

Dogger is a story about Dave's lost toy - a heart-wrenching idea if you love your toy as much as I loved my teddy and Dave loves Dogger. But it's not just about the lost toy - it's also about Dave's brilliant big sister Bella, and the wonderful thing she does for Dave. Bella is my hero.
