The heart-warming tale of one girl and her dog exploring farm life from War Horse author, Michael Morpurgo and award-winning illustrator Patrick Benson.
Lula always likes me to go with her to the end of the lane. She loves a bit of a cuddle and a lick or two before the school bus comes. “Oh Russ,” she whispers. “A horse. It’s all I want for my birthday.” And I’m thinking - ’Scuse me, but what’s so great about a horse? Isn’t a dog good enough.
Once again, Michael has produced a gem of a picture book. In this most charming of dog stories the former children’s laureate recounts the tale of Russ the collie, capturing the essence of farm life and the Great British countryside. Beautifully illustrated by Patrick Benson, this picture book is sure to captivate dog lovers aged 3+. A classic read that children will want to return to again and again.
Look out for Michael's other picture books Jo-Jo the Melon Donkey, Mimi and the Mountain Dragon, The Best of Times, and The Goose is Getting Fat.
