‘Hey, that’s what I’ll call you – Collywobble!’

Collywobble, published by Pont Books, is a heart-warming tale of a brave little collie pup by Malachy Doyle.

Working sheepdog Bess has had a litter of puppies: three are big and strong, three are good enough but Collywobble is the most shivery, wobbly little scrap you’re ever likely to see. Nobody wants him! Farmer Joe agrees to keep him on the farm but he’ll have to earn his keep.

When Bess and Farmer Joe fail to return home one day, Collywobble ventures out into the snow to look for them. But when faced with a herd of runaway sheep and finding that Farmer Joe’s truck has skidded off the road, will the little pup really be able to save the day and prove his worth?

This beautifully illustrated picture book shows that appearances aren’t always what they seem and this endearing tale is sure to appeal to tender-hearted animal lovers of all ages, but especially children.

Malachy Doyle’s touching story is beautifully complemented by Petra Brown’s artwork. Her feel for the Welsh landscape and her affinity with animals makes this a picture book for children (and their mums and dads) to treasure.
