Emma's search for a 'big soft cuddly pet' turns up some unlikely and highly unsuitable candidates including a bug, a snake and someone else's dog. But finally she finds just what she's looking for in the shape of her big soft cuddly dad. Yes, it does sound rather cosy but the humour in David McPhail's illustrations and situations lift it above over-sentimentality. A brief, easy-to-read text makes this Pocket Puffin ideal for less confident readers as well as beginners.
