"In this quirky tale about a tattered teddy’s second chance, readers follow the travails of Dougal, rescued at the dump by a truck operator. Soon, a stuffed bee named Bumble joins the forlorn bear. Silly, tongue-in-cheek outings for the pair are documented in a photojournalistic style. The juxtaposition of Dray’s wry narrative with his quixotic and uniquely compelling snapshots proves engaging across the generations. A heartfelt message at tale’s end regarding triumphing over adversity proves that this odd duckling of a story is truly a swan." - Kirkus Reviews
"Utterly delicious...every detail repays study." - Washington Post
"...Wonderfully detailed pictures are hilarious and expressive...a great activity-producing selection for a rainy day, or any day." - School Library Journal
"Dougal is unique and unforgettable and will have you thinking twice..." - Curled Up Kids
"...thoroughly entertaining, well written, creatively illustrated and purely enjoyable." - Life is like a Lunchbox
"Designed to look like a scrapbook, the book is clever and creative and a wonderful read-aloud." - Education Oasis
