Humorous and warm, this book is a great way of getting kids excited about creative writing.Alice Bowsher's pen and ink drawings are exploding with fun.

A delightful coloring book by emerging illustrator Alice Bowsher. An orange line runs through the book. It starts off as a tightrope and then turns into a washing line, a table, a road, etc., while circus animals, crazy garments, and unusual vehicles dance upon it in Alice's bold brushstroke.Every other page is gatefolded, so that each spread stretches over three pages. When the gatefold is closed, the concept of the previous spread meets the concept of the next, bringing a level of wit into play.Saddle-stitched, with an elastic band wrapping around, this is a gorgeous gift book.

Striking illustrations and use of colour bring this simple narrative tale to life and a smile to your face. --The Book Activist What came first - dogs that look like their owners or owners that look like their dogs? I wanted a dog... This one was perfect! Nobody wanted him because he looked scruffy.... but I’m a scruffy guy so that suited me just fine. After picking out the scruffiest dog at the pound, the narrator is surprised to find that Scruff isn’t what he initally seemed. He doesn’t want to catch sticks... or roll in the mud or swim in the pond. What could be the problem? It turns out that Scruff just loves being pampered! So the narrator goes along with it. They wash, brush, trim and polish together, until they are anything but scruffy! In their newly groomed state they go to the dog show... but have they done enough to win...? A funny story that is sure to charm dog-mad little ones and their parents.
