About this Book

Author: Julia Donaldson

Date Published: 01-Oct-2020

Here is a dog, a Dalmatian called Dot. Is she quite ordinary? No she's not! Dot loves visiting the children of Wallaby Ward and they're always pleased to see her. From a baby with a sore tummy to a bored teenager, a pat, a stroke and a cuddle with Dot cheers everyone up. But the work of the hospital dog doesn't stop there, and when one of her patients needs help, it's up to Dot to save the day. The latest picture book from multi-best-selling children's author Julia Donaldson.
