Absolutely Delightful

Hound On A Scrounge by Maria Bucci  is an absolutely delightful book for the under fives and the young at heart.

We join Buddy, a hound, as he sits under the table waiting for titbits. The book is very cleverly done as Buddy draws the reader into his world. He interacts with the reader telling them what to do in order to act like a dog – And he dishes out gold stars!

We also learn the origins of afternoon tea – proving you are never too old to learn something new.

All the book is beautifully illustrated by Martynas Marchiusm. The drawings are simple but effective and each page is a prompt for further discussions with our children. Buddy is a pure delight with his big eyes and friendly face.
