Dogs of all shapes and sizes star this delightful book, but which of them is the biggest?

From tiny Chihuahua Agnes who loves to burrow beneath cushions, to Holly the Collie, who loves chasing her tail; from Popcorn the Beagle with the very waggly tail, to Poncho the friendly Dalmatian, this book contains a pack of adorable dogs. Each is special in their own way, but which of them is the BIGGEST dog in the book?

With a gatefold that opens out to show just how huge the biggest dog is, this gorgeous book compares lots of different dogs, showing how each is lovable in their own way, but only one of them can be the biggest.

Written by award-winning author Ben Lerwill and illustrated by prize-winning artist Mark Chambers, this book will appeal to all kids who have a dog, any kid that wants a dog, and everyone who loves animals.
