Goliath and the Burglar
Valerie Littlewood
Witty, well-told (if predictable) tale about Goliath, the little runt, who grows up to be an enormous, and day-saving, burglar-catcher dog. Mr Dicks' writing will ease novice readers in and they'll enjoy the climax, though I'd have liked more feeling and character to match the action. Lively pictures and cover.
