When Billy Was a Dog

Western Australian illustrator. If you can't have a puppy, maybe the next best thing is to be a puppy.'Can I please, please, please have a dog?' asked Billy. 'Would you walk it every day and wash it if it got dirty?' 'I would, I promise!' said Billy. Billy wants a dog. He really really really wants one. Billy's parents aren't so sure. So one morning, Billy takes matters into his own paws. A gloriously funny, warm and true story from the creators of Puddle Hunters.
