Description

Monty had never met a poodle before, and Ginger had never met a stray dog before... neither could have guessed what a great friendship theirs could be! Monty is a scruffy, homeless pooch with a taste for fine art, and Ginger is a poodle who doesn't mind getting her paws a bit dirty. Monty and the poodles long to live together at the warm and cosy Poodle Mansions, but its strict poodles-only policy is rather inconvenient... and so these crafty canines decide to create their own home where all are welcome!

Reviews

Katie Harnett's adorable book works on two levels: one, as a fun story about dogs, with lovely doggy illustrations (the last spread features a delightful range of different dogs, all oozing with character), but also as a story about tolerance, compromise and staying true to oneself. -- BookTrust
