Spot Goes on Holiday by Eric Hill invites young readers on a delightful seaside adventure alongside their favourite playful puppy, Spot. This beloved children's book, now reissued in a charming cased board format with embedded flaps, captures the magic of a beach holiday through the curious eyes of Spot.

In this enchanting story, Spot's mum and dad take him on holiday to the beach.

The narrative combines simple yet engaging text with the thrill of lifting flaps to discover hidden surprises, making it perfect for curious toddlers.

About the Author

Eric Hill (1927-2014) started his artistic career as an art studio messenger and from there went on to become a cartoonist and eventually an art director at a leading advertising agency. In 1978 Eric made up a story about a small puppy to read to his son at bedtime and Spot was born. The success of his first bestselling lift-the-flap classic Where's Spot? in 1980 convinced him to become a full-time author, and his Spot books have been enjoyed by children around the world ever since. In 2008 he was awarded an OBE for services to children's literacy.
