Dogs, Dogs, Dogs by John Devolle, Pushkin, £12.99
“Old dogs, young dogs, dogs on wheels, dogs that want to eat your meals” – this “very silly book about dogs” is a polychromatic picture-book treat for little canine fans, full of bold graphic artwork and audacious rhymes.
More! by Ged Adamson, Moon and Bird, £12.99
Best friends Squirrel and Mouse are on a blissful walk together, but Squirrel keeps wanting more – a hat, a tie, a boingy stick! – until he realises it’s all pointless without Mouse to share it. A slyly hilarious anti-consumerist picture book that encourages small readers to pore over its delightful background details.
