A Present for Junket

A joyful picture book about trash and treasure featuring a Groodle on the hunt for the perfect birthday present.

In A Present for Junket, a sweet dog called Gherkin goes looking for a birthday present for her best friend. But what does make the perfect gift? The answer may surprise you ...

When Gherkin is woken early by the garbage truck outside, her first thought is: yum, rubbish! Then she remembers that it’s her best friend Junket’s birthday … and Gherkin needs a present for her. But what would Junket love? A new toy? A new jacket? Gherkin keeps hunting, and soon realises the perfect present has been right in front of her all along …

From an exciting new picture-book duo comes this entertaining neighbourhood adventure about friendship, generosity and the secret lives of dogs. Packed with gentle humour, a subtle 'make do and mend' message, and glorious watercolor artwork from illustrator Nancy Liu, this sweet picture book is perfect for toddlers, doggy fans and rubbish-truck enthusiasts alike!
