This book written by Kate Hopkins with beautiful illustrations by Susy Dixon-Jones, is a collections of delightful stories of Pilot, a young Black Labrador, and his friend Percy, a young black cat. Children, ages 8 - 11 should be able to read and enjoy the stories, on their own, but it is also a nice book for "story time". Each story is just the right length as a a bedtime story, and tells of the adventures of Pilot and Percy, and their friends. Pilot and Percy have interesting, but "gentle" adventures, and each one ends happily. The colourful illustrations are detailed and interesting. I have enjoyed this book as well, as have several children in my extended family.

Percy and Pilot are such loveable characters!
Perfect for children 9-11s independent reading, but excellent for parents to read to their younger kids.
I've found the stories most helpful for my work in teaching ESL. They're great for developing A0-B1 vocabulary, grammar, and reading skills.
Well written with lovely moral messages to explore, as well as stunningly illustrated. Strongly recommend purchasing this book.

The crazy adventures of Percy & Pilot are so wonderful and heartwarming! I loved it so much I bought a second copy to send back to America for my nephew.
We loved all the funny little pickles Percy & Pilot get themselves into and their friendship is adorable.
Can’t wait to see what they get up to next ❤️
