Overview

Lyrical story about a puppy's first summer, with beautiful illustrations, from a bestselling, award-winning duo “Born at the very start of the summer, so small she could rest easily in the cupped hands of a child …” From a little furry bundle, Rosie the puppy grows, learns, and explores her world - rose petals, spiders and butterflies in the garden, the jungle of long summer grass, the fields where a fox calls, the beach where she chases waves and digs deep in the sand. Warmly and lovingly, Rosie's first summer is recreated in Jackie Morris's poetic words and Cathy Fisher's unforgettable images. Rich in the sense of discovery, rich too in the love between puppy and child, here is a timeless country idyll for all ages.
