Description

Percy is tired of being one dog all alone in a house full of cats! They are rude and messy and they blame Percy for things that definitely aren't his fault. He's leaving for a magical place where he can be free: the dog park.

Now he can have fun all day, with no cats to make a fuss! But it's hard out there for a top dog, and soon Percy realises that there might be something missing ...

With rollicking rhyme by Maura Finn and hilarious illustrations by Lucinda Gifford, Too Many Dogs is the perfect gift for dog-lovers and cat-lovers alike.

Author Bio

Born and bred in New Zealand, Maura Finn now lives in Melbourne with her husband and two young daughters. In her early writing days, she ran a rather lucrative playground business, swapping tailor-made poems for lunchbox leftovers. Now, many years later, she has rediscovered the joy and value of picture books through sharing them with her own children, and is delighted to think that her stories may contribute to other children's love of reading.

Lucinda is a hard working illustrator who has drawn the pictures for over 40 books, as well as for lots of websites, videos and posters. She has been drawing since she was a toddler in Scotland, when her teacher marvelled at her unusually terrifying sketches of witches. Now Lucinda lives in Melbourne and has a marvellous job where she gets to draw every day. Lucinda's favourite things to draw are castles, cavemen and creatures with big teeth or tentacles.
