A quite okay and probably very exciting book for kids who like dogs, police and thrilling stories.

First book in a series (of course isn't every book part of a series now days) and this is an adventure type series about the title character with the unlikely name of Fizz (Whatever happened to Rover and Spot) all good for the younger reader but as you get longer in the tooth you may become more jaded about the goings on of Fizz and co.

Cute book to read with my 4yo. This was the perfect transition from picture books to chapter books. He enjoyed the storyline and I appreciated that the chapters were shorter and there was an illustration on each page. We plan to purchase the remaining books in the Fizz series đ

This dog... is so cute. And he wants to be a policeman. That would have been almost a perfect book for me when I was reading at this level (I promise I can read better than this now). I got a free reading copy of this at work but it would have made my heart go AAAAAA under any circumstances. He's wearing a police hat! A hat!
Anyway, the dogs were a bit less dog-like than I was expecting for a series that also has human characters and doesn't feature the dogs wearing clothes, and I didn't really understand why Tom's role in the plot had to be filled by an extra human character for young readers to keep track of. I assume he has some function in later books which is relevant to his pathetic lack of dog-ness. There are no lady humans in this book and the only lady dogs are Fizz's spoilt and pampered family. I liked the ending and both the illustrations and concept are super adorable. I think the other books in the series, which feature actual crimes, will be more exciting and read more independently after children have been introduced to the dog breed vocab in this one.

Perfect book to read to my kindergartener.
Sheâs very invested in Fizzâs story and *not* a fan of Amadeus.
