Notso Hotso by Anne Fine (Hamish Hamilton pound;7.99) stars Anthony, a mutt with sharp attitude and a skin condition that results in his being shaved by Delia Massingpole, the vet. This side-splittingly funny chapter-book, written as an extended monologue, should encourage Year 3s and up to experiment with tone of voice in their own writing. Good to read alongside The Diary of a Killer Cat.
