About the Book
“It’s going to be woof-onderful!”
There is nothing Nicky wants more in the world than a dog to play with. But Mum and Dad don’t want one. Then Grandad has an idea – he and Nicky can MAKE a dog: a snow-dome dog. Even better, he has some special clay, found at the end of a rainbow, so that the dog will be extra-special. Maybe even magic…
A beautifully warm tale from an award-winning author.
For Neil and Lizzy, with love,
and for Donnika – as promised!
