‘[Meschenmoser’s] creatures are not slickly cute but refreshingly sympathetic. They do not ask to be admired. They look as if they need a hairbrush.’
The New York Times
AT LAST! THE ANTEDOTE TO ALL THOSE FAIRY BOOKS!
The day hasn’t started well for Pugman, quite possibly the grumpiest dog you’ll ever find in a kids’ book. He’s overslept, there’s nothing for breakfast and the rain has made his newspaper soggy. You’d be grumpy too.
Then, out of nowhere, a magical and unnecessarily cheerful fairy appears. She offers the grumpy Pugman three wishes.
Think you know what he’ll wish for? You and the fairy are in for quite a surprise!
At last, the antedote to those seemingly endless fairy books for kids, and what a hoot it is. Meschenmoser’s delightfully disheveled illustrations are full of wit and mischief and its hilarious ending will have you cheering for our canine curmudgeon
