Continuing on in the fine tradition of her parents, Jessica Ahlberg has created a beautifully detailed and charming fairytale story. The actual story is sweet, a chase through various fairytales after a dog, but the true highlight here is the illustrations. So much to see on every page, down to a teeny tiny shopping list for the three bears (batteries for the burglar alarm) and ‘mud soap’ for the pigs.

Children will absolutely delight in the ‘look and find’ aspect of the storytelling, which really calls to mind one of the pleasures of Each Peach Pear Plum.
