Reviews
My favourite part was when the suspicious people are on the train with the 'baby in the shawl' and it whines. It turns out to be the special dog they'd captured from the town hall show. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes famous five.

Didn’t love it didn’t hate it. Don’t know how to feel about it. Other children who like Eden Blyton more than I do would prefer but definitely this is a good book.

I like how it is three short stories and you can read them in any order. I’m not so keen on the pictures.

Dick was my favourite character. I liked the fact Timmy the dog was right even though the children didn't realise at first. I liked that the children and Timmy helped the police to get the dog back. I would recommend this book to others.
