My Dog Ate The Bathroom – Out Nov 1st – Order Now!

We’d all be lying if we said our dog hadn’t eaten something in our house.

Puzzle pieces, a hairbrush, or the last chapter of the book you were reading.

But nothing beats the tale of Mr Nut, who in this story eats the BATHROOM, and far worse. If you loved the humour of my earlier book Nanas With No Manners, you’ll love My Dog Ate The Bathroom. Thanks to Raymond McGrath for the outrageous illustration
