LET'S GET A PUP!.
by Bob Graham.
(Walker Books, 10.99).
This author-illustrator can always be relied upon to come up with a fresh, contemporary and convincing angle on a popular theme, and to do it with humour.
The book begins with a girl called Kate lying in bed all alone, without her cat who has died. Then follows an exuberant picture of Kate running to her parents' bedroom calling: 'Let's get a pup!' Mum and dad are soppy about dogs. When they go to the rescue centre they have to make a heart-wrenching decision about which dog to take. They choose one, and when they get home can't stop thinking about another one they saw - so they go back for that too.
