The next day the headmaster says that Pete must go but Toms formidable Mum turns up and persuades him, through a mixture of hard talk and flattery, that if Pete were allowed to stay at the school, not only would he make an excellent In House dog but his appointment would also enhance the schools (and more importantly) the headmasters reputation.

The illustrations assist with making meaning of the simply worded text, and provide a backdrop for each page that is bound to spark children's imaginations. The selection of the two characters ensures that there is a gender balance as well as representation from both Caucasian and Asian backgrounds. The rhyming of the last word in each line acts as a reading prompt and can also be used to brainstorm additional rhyming words.
