Duchess, the Barley Farm sheepdog, has given birth to ten puppies.

Poppy and Honey can't wait to see them. The puppies are so adorable that they visit them every single day and Poppy secretly wishes she could have one as her very own pet. But when Mrs Meadowsweet tells them it is time for the puppies to be sold Poppy is worried that they will all go to other families.

Find out whether Poppy's wish comes true and what Mum and Dad think of her plans.

The strangest and loveliest offering for small readers ... Exquisitely drawn, it's drily funny and addresses our perennial failure to appreciate the wonder of life

Enchanting, touching, full of lightness and wisdom
