Then he runs into Finchley—with his round snout, enormous size, and love of splashing in puddles, he’s clearly a hippo! Ollie has the best walk as he keeps finding more and more new animal friends. No dogs in this crowd...or are there? Bea Birdsong’s short, funny text and Charlie Alder’s irresistible art will have kids laughing out loud as Ollie mistakenly accepts gossip as truth, leading him to make far-fetched false assumptions.Full of barking good fun, kids will enjoy spotting all the dogs on every page as Ollie embraces his newfound fur-ever friendships!
