TURTLE IN A TREE

A spare and laugh-out-loud-funny picture book about seeing only half the full picture ... and admitting when you're not quite all the way right.

A greyhound swears there's a turtle in the tree. A bulldog says it's a squirrel. After all, a turtle in a tree? Who's ever heard of such a thing? But their argument leads to a most surprising discovery... that maybe neither one of them is all the way wrong, or all the way right, and friendship is all about listening to someone else's perspective.

Key selling points:

- Calling all dog lovers: The adorable and expressive bulldog and greyhound will make dog lovers squeal.
- Brilliant debut: This is Neesha Hudson's author-illustrator debut, and we think she has a bright future.
