Review quote:
‘Stuffed with terrible puns, squeaky toys, fabulous waistcoats and pork chops, this blissfully silly story for 6+ stars a sausage dog with a rare talent and big dreams of making it in Hollywoof, despite his reluctant sidekick Stanley Big Dog and his envious nemesis, Susan the peanut-balancing Labrador. A must for young canine enthusiasts with a taste for daft humour.’ Children’s and teens roundup – The Guardian; ‘Hilarious and heartwarming, packed with friendship, fun and fabulous waistcoats! Michael’s journey to su-paw-stardom is an inspiring reminder to go after your dreams, get up when you fall, and never let a peanut-balancing chocolate labrador steal the show.’ Hannah Moffatt; ‘A very punny tail about Michael, an ambitious sausage dog with stars in his eyes’ Karen Owen; ”This is glorious! A hilarious tale about following your dreams no matter what.” Lee Newbery; ”A tail-waggingly fun read. You”re in for a doggie treat.” Mo O”Hara
