Description
Poor Louie! Life is perfect for this pup until Mum's belly starts getting bigger...
From the illustrator of the Bink & Gollie series comes a funny, touching tale for big siblings. Louie's life is great! A walk every morning, ice cream on Sundays, snuggling in bed at night with Mum and Dad. Even meeting up with Mum's friends - despite their little crawling creatures who pull Louie's ears - aren't all that bad. But then things get weird - cold food on the floor, no room in the bed, and lots of new stuff coming into the house in pairs: two small beds, two little jumpers, a two-seated buggy. Does that bode double trouble ahead, or could there be a happier surprise in store for Louie?

Reviews / Votes
"Dry humour, a restricted colour palette which gives the whole thing a subtle air of retro sophistication, constantly changing and sometimes, unusual perspectives, and some laugh-out-loud spreads make the whole thing a delight from cover to cover. Fucile's delicious comedy will appeal to dog lovers and families adjusting to a new sibling in particular; but neither of those are applicable to this reviewer who loved it nonetheless." * Red Reading Hub *More details
