Loppylugs and the Dam

Loppylugs is a funny looking dog. He has the biggest ears you have EVER seen. He has gone to his new home with Paul and Kate, who love him very much, even though he is not a pedigree but just 'a bit of this and a bit of that.' He meets new friends and saves the day when he becomes a hero overnight.

I am really excited about this story aimed at the 4-7 years group. Children will love Loppylugs, and –yes- he is based on my own loveable Cass.

Helen Lake, my illustrator is a wonderful artist and has brought my characters to life in an exciting way, if you click loppylug's nose you can get a picture to print and colour.

I thought about this story years ago, and tried it out on many children’s schools in Cheshire, where I used to live.

As they all loved the story and even drew nearly a hundred pictures for me, I knew this just had to be published. I am sure you will agree with the following comment when you have read it:

I’m not surprised Loppylugs is popular with younger children.
