ISBN 978 1 9272 7174 2 Themes: Friendship/ Hide-and-Seek/ Series


In this new story about Pim and Pom there is drama, tension, humour and adventure when Pim, the small rag animal? person? (it is really whatever the viewer wants it to be) is ‘taken’ by an energetic dog who then joins in the search.  A whole novel could be written about the feelings and emotions that are raised here but this is a simple story in just over 50 words, aimed at the very young and it works supremely well.  Every picture moves the story on to its hoped for conclusion.  Perfect!!

Preschool/ Age 3 up
