Howl with laughter with the third book in the hilarious
full-colour, illustrated series, Dog Man, from the
creator of Captain Underpants!
He was the best of dogs...
He was the worst of dogs...
It was the age of invention...
It was the season of surprise...
It was the eve of supa sadness...
It was the dawn of hope...
Dog Man hasn't always been a paws-itive addition to the
police force.
While he can muzzle miscreants, he tends to leave a slick of slobber
in his wake!
This time, Petey the cat's dragged in a tiny bit of trouble --
a double in the form of a super-cute kitten.
Dog Man will have to work twice as hard to bust these
furballs and remain top dog!

'When Puddle was barely more than an egg, he couldn't wait to start duckling school.' So begins this story about feelings of excitement, anticipation, and understandable nervousness that surround an approaching first day at nursery school. Puddle, a little duckling, is like so many pre-school children in desperately wanting to be grown-up enough to go to school and to have his own school bag. But as the day draws nearer, Puddle begins to feel rather wobbly about the whole concept! Luckily Mummy knows just what to do. She packs items into Puddle's school bag that will help him through his first day-one of her softest feathers to remind him she is never far away, some home-made biscuits for him to share with his new friends, his Cuddly for the afternoon nap-and, as the story unfolds, we discover how Puddle's enjoyment of his first day builds each time he finds one of Mummy's tokens in his bag. Puddle spends a happy day counting caterpillars, matching ladybirds, leaping from lily pad to lily pad, and decorating a leafy twig. So, by going-home time, he can put his twig in his bag to take home for Mummy.
This is just the right story to boost confidence for those starting school-children will love to share everything about Puddle's first day.
