The Pocket Dogs Go on Holiday by Margaret Wild
Everyone loved The Pocket Dogs, Wild’s first book about the two tiny dogs that loved to be carried in Mr Pockets’ big coat. And this story about their seaside holiday is simply delightful.
Biff and Buff and Mr Pockets travel together to the beach where they have great fun playing in the surf and building sand castles (kennels). But then the big coat disappears…
I am continually amazed that authors can pack so much drama into so few words. But those words would be no where near as powerful without Stephen Michael King’s whimsical drawings that make Biff and Buff so endearing.
This book is wonderful. Maybe not original, but small children don’t care. This is far more like a visit with old friends.
