This sweet introduction to baby farm animals follows the adventures of Puppy as he tries to find someone to play with him. He hurries over to see his friend Calf, but he is still sleeping. Puppy wants to play with Foal, but she’s still eating her breakfast. Puppy then asks the ducklings if they want to play, but they’re busy having their swimming lesson. Is there anyone who can play with Puppy? Includes a touch-and-feel element on every spread.
Amelia Hepworth lives in London with her family and her elderly sausage dog, Katie. When she is not writing stories, she enjoys spending time with her little boy and daydreaming outside. Usually not at the same time. Amelia is the author of the best-selling I Love You to the Moon and Back.

Anna Doherty illustrates books from her home studio, looking out at the treetops. When she's not working on children’s books, Anna also illustrates cards and freelances as a science illustrator - in particular she loves drawing portraits of inspiring women in science!
