An action-packed rhyming picture book comedy from Waterstones Children's Book of the Year winner Ross Montgomery.
Perfect for children's summer reading as they gear up to go on holiday or spend time away from home. Pog and Pickle take young readers on a wildly entertaining and unexpected adventure of bravery, friendship and new experiences.
Meet Pog and Pickle, a guinea pig couple who are never apart. Pickle loves life in their cosy hutch, but Pog dreams of exploring the world. Late one night, Pog seizes her chance to sneak into the family’s luggage for a holiday to Peru … leaving Pickle all alone! It’s time for Pickle to make an inventive escape plan of his own as he musters all his courage to embark on a hilariously chaotic and daring journey to reunite with his love.
