“Life was good, Nana Scrappy was thinking to herself as she poured another cup of herbal tea.”
With her lovely house and her beautiful garden cared for by Eugene O’Squirrel, Nana’s life is indeed good. She is even going to be awarded for her superb home grown cabbages. But could the unexpected visit by her muddy pawed grand-dog Barry upset it all?
It does. Understanding breaks down between the young dog and his loving Nana. He wants burgers. She wants him to eat the best food for puppies ‘designed by scientists.’ In a huff, Barry disappears. Now Nana must join forces with all the O’Squirrels and with Harold the archaeologist and with Sparfield the huge guinea pig (with bad burps) to find the youngster. Will they be in time? Will Sparfield eat all the furniture? And what about the prize for cabbages?
Mawson’s Guardian says: As I read this delightful story about friends helping one another, I wanted to be young again so as to be able to read it with a child’s eyes. Or have a child by my side to read it to. I could almost hear the places where we would stop and exclaim at moments in the story and point to the illustrations (by Jessica McCarthy) . We would exclaim at different things, I’m sure, every time we read it, and there are many postive messages.
If you like dogs, squirrels, guinea pigs, burgers, and visits to Nanas, you will enjoy reading this tale. (You don’t necessarily have to like cabbages.) And it’s only the first. The second adventure for all the friends takes place at Christmas. It’s available now! It is also at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.
