Working in watercolor and pencil, Clark exuberantly captures Plum’s zest for life, whether it’s playing with the kids next door or causing trouble (like diving into the pond at the park) that tests his family’s patience. But unconditional love is unconditional love, and even at the height of Plum’s post-mischief worry—“Would they ever love me again?” she wonders, stuck in time-out—the answer to that question is never in doubt. Ages 3–5. * Publisher's Weekly *Dog lovers will especially “LOVE” this, and readers who can’t get enough can follow the real-life Plum in the author’s blog. * Kirkus Reviews *I think it is a perfect book for sharing and helping younger children understand that even if they do sometimes get up to mischief and get told off they will still be loved.

Book SynopsisMore wildly funny animal madness from dream team Julian Clary and David Roberts! The Bolds are a family of hyenas living as humans in a suburban house. But now their kindness to animal waifs and strays has become legendary, and more and more animals keep turning up to stay! Roger the sheep flocks to their house, and Fifi the poodle turns up to learn some new tricks, whilst Sheila the crocodile decides to stay for a while. But when the Bolds take in a couple of race horses who are on the run, they worry their animal magnetism is getting to be too much. Have these hyenas bitten off more than they can chew?Trade Review"Wonderful illustrations bring this surreal tale to life and fans of Fizzlebert Stump will find much to love." * Guardian, The Best New Children's Books *"It’s ludicrous, charming and very, very funny, with a subtle underlying message about live-and-let-living" * Lovereading4Kids *"A winner of a sequel, just the ticket for lovers of Roald Dahl." * Kirkus *"Delightfully silly, full of fun, and laugh out loud funny... we need more funny books like this in the world!" * The School Librarian *"Roberts' illustrations are a joy." * The Bookseller *"Hilarious" * Glasgow Herald *"Wonderful illustrations bring this surreal tale to life and fans of Fizzlebert Stump will find much to love." * Guardian, The Best New Children's Books *"It’s ludicrous, charming and very, very funny, with a subtle underlying message about live-and-let-living" * Lovereading4Kids *"A winner of a sequel, just the ticket for lovers of Roald Dahl." * Kirkus *"Delightfully silly, full of fun, and laugh out loud funny... we need more funny books like this in the world!" * The School Librarian *"Roberts' illustrations are a joy." * The Bookseller *"Hilarious" * Glasgow Herald *
