Description

An iconic and moving new picture book from the bestselling, award-winning artist and storyteller, John Burningham Miles is a very difficult dog... Until he is given his very own motor car and learns to love the open road! This enigmatic story is a joy to read, gently exploring the transformational power of freedom. John's distinctive, expressive artwork is stunning, whether it's his instantly recognisable characters or the expansive, contemplative spreads of colour, as Miles discovers the joys of the road. This is a story that children will immediately engage with, while parents absorb the magically nostalgic air and subtle celebration of change and growing up.
