Mr Walker and the Perfect Mess




Following on from The Tales of Mr Walker comes another charming story about this hotel dog with a nose for adventure.

One of the hotel's most treasured staff members is leaving and, while Mr Walker is sad to see Josephine go, he is determined to make her last week a memorable one. If only he can think of the perfect present. First things first - to cope with the summer heatwave and prepare for the Guide Dogs fundraiser. Oof, our little labrador is going to need a nap after this adventure!

Praise for Mr Walker and the Perfect Mess

Let's be honest, we each want to be the person, Mr Walker believes us to be.

Deborah Robins, Read Plus

The short chapters make the Mr Walker titles a great early chapter book or read-aloud class book . . . Both titles are well-paced and the black and white illustrations are wonderful.
