Such a fun, joyous read and purrfect for animal lovers. I adored it.

The perfect book for every child who's ever begged for a pet. Charming, warm and emotionally real, with untrained puppies and annoying older sisters making Pia's life a non-stop chaos parade!

Louie Stowell, author of Loki

A parcel of puppy-packed perfection!

One of my favourites... illustrated wonderfully by Emma McCann
