Two more really satisfying stories in the 'Flippers' series. Althea Braithwaite's sure touch and empathy for animals, matched with Rob McCaig's gently humorous illustrations, give us a charming character-Tom, Hannah's pet dog-who struggles wistfully on and, though woefully misunderstood, rises unwittingly to hero status and thoroughly enjoys it.
