15 things NOT to do with a Puppy by Margaret McAllister and Holly Sterling (Frances Lincoln Children's Books)

We love these rib-tickling "How To" guides from Margaret and Holly. Here's a handy guide for little ones welcoming a new pet into the house for the first time...
In "15 things NOT to do with a Puppy" by Margaret McAllister and Holly Sterling we take a humorous look at dog ownership.

Owning a new puppy can be LOADS AND LOADS of fun, but of course little ones won't always know the best ways to look after their pet, or the things that you really shouldn't do with your puppy.

With simple text and glorious illustrations, we're taken through several steps of puppy ownership...

Puppies have loads of energy, just like kids themselves. YAY!

It's so much fun to have a doggy companion but sometimes they need their own space and downtime, just like we do.

Never a good idea to teach your puppy to play the Tuba (or any loud musical instruments)

As with previous books by Margaret and Holly, the "Don't" section is always the funniest.

Ew, puppies being fed cabbage? We can only imagine the foul flumps that this would cause. Pee-eewwww!

A lovely little book this, perfect for poochy pals everywhere.
