There are huge amounts of fairy-tale fun and games in this typically boisterous and inventive story by Tracey Corderoy. In true fairy-tale style, Bob and Rex, his dog, are happy but poor. To make some money, they decide to take up pet-sitting, with disastrous results: a host of fairy-tale creatures are dropped off at their door – Goldilocks leaves the baby bear, who is quite a handful, Jack leaves his goose (and some beans), the three little pigs dump the wolf on the two pet-sitters, claiming it’s a puppy. It’s very funny, as are the scenes of chaos that result, and there’s a lovely surprise twist in the tale. Funny and lively, this is a book to be read again and again. ~Andrea Reece
Bob has decided to be a pet-sitter. He just can't wait for all the cute hamsters and bunnies to arrive! But when Goldilocks asks him to look after her grumpy baby bear, the fairy tale chaos begins... Spot your favourite characters misbehaving in an all-star cast as the golden goose, three billy goats gruff and - yikes! - a troll arrive at Bob's door. Whatever will he do? A hilarious new picture book from award-winning author Tracey Corderoy (Squish Squash Squeeze!, Now!, Why?, More!) and talent illustrator Jorge Martin.
