Meet Buzz Sausage Wolf! A hilariously silly sausage dog who's determined to be the PERFECT pet - but how? This funny and friendly full-colour illustrated story about being yourself is ideal for newly independent readers moving on from picture books.

Buzz Sausage Wolf is keen to win the love (and biscuits) of his New Family. He wants to be the perfect pet and impress them, but who is Pack Leader? Is it Britney, the small but shouty one? Her brother, who secretly gives Buzz delicious and definitely not-for-dogs snacks? Or Mum, the one who holds The Lead . . .

With the help of his wise friend, Trilby, Buzz must decide whether to be a silly Sausage or a brave Wolf to win their hearts - because too much of either ends in chaos!

A warmly funny story for fans of Rabbit and Bear, with large dollops of silliness and the occasional unexpected dog parp.
