A big book of stories for 2-5-year-olds, about the pets who live in the houses along Buffin Street: the witch's cat, the old sea-captain's parrot, the snake, the hamster, the new puppy, the pony, the gerbil and so on. A follow-up to MOO BAA BAA QUACK, this has a wonderful cast of animal and human characters and the same energetic, up-to-the-minute quality that makes Francesca Simon such a successful writer for this age group. Emily Bolam's bold, brightly coloured illustrations are a perfect counterpart.
