A heartwarming tale of Plum, her loves, her calamities, and her very favourite thing...
Emma Chichester Clark is one of Britain's best loved children's authors and illustrators. She is the author of the immensely popular Blue Kangaroo series and many other books, and has illustrated books by Roald Dahl, Kevin Crossley-Holland, Peter Dickinson, Michael Morpurgo and, most recently, Quentin Blake.
A charming celebration of unconditional love, pooch style.

Clark’s rambunctious dog, Plum, whose exploits have been chronicled
on the author’s blog as well as in a recent adult title, Plumdog,
makes her picture book debut. Working in watercolor and pencil,
Clark exuberantly captures Plum’s zest for life, whether it’s
playing with the kids next door or causing trouble (like diving
into the pond at the park) that tests his family’s patience. But
unconditional love is unconditional love, and even at the height of
Plum’s post-mischief worry—“Would they ever love me again?” she
wonders, stuck in time-out—the answer to that question is never in
doubt. Ages 3–5.

Dog lovers will especially “LOVE” this, and readers who can’t get
enough can follow the real-life Plum in the author’s blog.
*Kirkus Reviews*
I think it is a perfect book for sharing and helping younger
children understand that even if they do sometimes get up to
mischief and get told off they will still be loved. I’m not sure
that it is possible for any child (or adult) not to totally fall in
love with Plumdog by the end of the story.

Wording is perfect for a 3-6 year old and illustrations are
engaging and relay the exuberant and love-worthy Plum.
