Selby Screama by Duncan Ball

This is the third book in the Selby series and Selby is still trying to keep his secret about his ability to talk. But, in this book he needs to scream out as he flees the Beast as Bogusville or when he finds himself face to face with an Egyptian mummy. The Trifles now have photos that could prove he is no ordinary canine. Are Selby's days of freedom numbered? Read the book to find out. As with the two preceding books in this series, the book is made up of short chapters each containing an amusing Selby moment and all are beautifully illustrated by Allan Stomann. Below is a link to Duncan Ball's website. It is a very extensive one and lots of fun.

Selby's Secret by Duncan Ball

This book used to belong to my son, Travis. My daughter Nicola also enjoyed the Selby series and I have a tape of her reading aloud from one of the books which I must find some time. Selby's secret is that he just happens to be the only talking dog in Australia and maybe even the world. The book is made up of a series of adventures that he has so you can just read one or two stories in a quiet reading period or settle down to read them all in one sitting when you have more time. They are quite entertaining and not a super challenging read if you are looking for something light.
