My Dad's Not a Dog

My Dad’s Not a Dog is an imagination feast – or at least a pretty tasty picnic. Poems, fun fantasy lyrics, tall tales and the hidden world of feelings and stray thoughts blend with Mark Spain’s hilarious pictures. You can even listen to the songs online as you read.

Share these fantastic flavours with all the family – but keep the secret bits secret too!
