The Abandoned Puppy from best-selling author Holly Webb

Pets in Pants [Paperback]
Children as well as adults giggle when it comes to pants’ jokes and chats. Well, not surprisingly it is very funny seeing all these cats, dogs or goldfish wearing colourful underwear in secret. This book is truly pants-tastic and very well illustrated by Omri…
