About the Book

“It’s going to be woof-onderful!”

There is nothing Nicky wants more in the world than a dog to play with. But Mum and Dad don’t want one. Then Grandad has an idea – he and Nicky can MAKE a dog: a snow-dome dog. Even better, he has some special clay, found at the end of a rainbow, so that the dog will be extra-special. Maybe even magic…

A beautifully warm tale from an award-winning author.

Illustrated by Sami Sweeten

For Neil and Lizzy, with love,
and for Donnika – as promised!

Chapter One

Grandad’s Idea

NICKY LIVED WITH
her mum and her dad in a beautiful house with lots of rooms. The house had a big garden at the front and an even bigger garden at the back. But Nicky was miserable. She didn’t mind not having any brothers or sisters, but there was one thing she wanted more than anything else in the world.

“Mum,
please
can I have a dog?”

“You must be joking, sweet pea,” sniffed Nicky’s mum as she hunted for her handbag.

“Why not?”

“Because a dog would make a mess of our carpets,” said Nicky’s mum, as she searched in her handbag for her front door keys.

“We could make a kennel for it in our back garden,” Nicky tried.
