Book Description | Granville the Dalmatian loves sweet, sugary, chocky wocky gooey things to eat. NOT fruit and vegetables. Which is a shame, because he comes from a long line of greengrocers and gardeners. So his family come up with a plan to persuade him to be passionate about parsnips and bonkers about broccoli. Only, Granville has a plan of his own – and it will surprise everyone!
A fabulously funny story from the creator of Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar – nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Perfect for foodies and fussy kids everywhere! |
Editorial Review | "Praise for Ralfy Rabbit: MacKenzie’s artwork, equally successful in portraying rabbit and human, is as bright, mischievous and witty as her prose. This is a treat for all bibliophiles and for all those in the making" - The Irish Times
"Praise for Ralfy Rabbit: Little ones will be desperate to visit a library and hopefully, this book underlines how spectacularly lucky we are to have such a thing available to us. Ralfy unlocks the gate to unlimited reading and his story could inspire the next generation of read-a-holics to become library lovers and not book thieves!" - Books for Keeps
"Books We Love: February: A picture book to preserve, this wonderful luxury should be shared and borrowed and shared again" - Booktrust |
