Dear Hound

Alfie the deerhound is a large grey puppy. He loves his boy Charlie, and cheese, and he''s very good at digging holes. But poor Alfie has got lost and he''s scared - of thunderstorms and being hungry and never seeing Charlie again . . .

Meanwhile, Charlie doesn''t know what to do - but one thing is for sure: he''ll never stop looking for his dear hound. Can Alfie ever find his way back to Charlie - and his great big squashy beanbag in the kitchen?

Written and illustrated by Jill Murphy, the creator of the much-loved Worst Witch series and picture book classics such as Peace at Last and The Large Family.
