The Great Fire Dogs

London 1666 - A terrible plague has swept through the city and people live in fear of animals carrying the disease.

Woofer is a loveable stray who works in the palace kitchen and Tiger Lily is the pampered pet spaniel of King Charles II. They come from very different worlds but this hasn't stopped them becoming the best of friends and looking out for each other. When Woofer finds himself in trouble he has to escape the palace grounds and Tiger Lily isn't far behind him.

It's not long before a new danger emerges - a great fire is sweeping across London destroying everything in its path. Can these two brave dogs survive the blazing fire and make their way to safety?

Reviews

A gentle message of empowerment with an appealing coterie of woodland pals; look out for the legwarmer-loving hedgehogs.

—— The Bookseller

Sophy's books are in their simplest form an utter delight. They should be on the bookshelves of every family everywhere. Pom Pom is part of my children's childhood now and Pass It On is in our minds a gentle masterpiece. She has an immense talent with beautiful and original ideas. Lucky children.

—— Angels & Urchins Magazine

This is a beautifully illustrated story of self-belief, perfect for encouraging little ones to try new things.

—— Scottish Book Trust

Henn invests a flat graphic design style with emotion and cuteness.

—— The Sunday Times

A gorgeous picture book that is perfect for sharing this spring.

—— The Sun

Grand, beautiful, exciting and poignant... This wise, rich text is a welcome addition to Penguin's Classics series

—— Philip Womack , Guardian

Clark exuberantly captures Plum’s zest for life, whether it’s playing with the kids next door or causing trouble

—— Publishers Weekly

All ends well for Plummie in a picture book that’s just right for a day that celebrates love, even if you’re in the doghouse.
