Animal Stories
Join Salty Dog and Pals on their laugh-out-loud seaside adventures in these four-colour illustrated stories - ideal for encouraging independent reading for children aged 5-7.

Illustrated in stunning four colour by the creator of the international bestselling How to Hide a Lion series, this is the perfect book for children just graduating from picture books and becoming newly independent readers.
Filled with sea shanties, Highland dancing, howling storms and extravagant bath time routines, life on the island is certainly NEVER dull!
Creators
Helen Stephens is the award-winning author and illustrator of Smelly Peggy and the How to Hide A Lion series, an international bestselling classic. Her books have been published in about 30 languages and have won some fancy-pants awards. Did you know? Helen likes to draw in the rain and wears her dressing gown over her clothes to work; it gets cold in Northumberland.
Katie Chappell is known for drawing visual notes at events and boring big important meetings for people like Google, Netflix, Adobe, Apple … and she also loves to write! This is her first time co-writing a children’s book with her good pal and fellow illustrator Helen. Did you know? Katie spends a lot of time at fancy events drawing pictures, but her real goals in life are 1. more afternoon naps and 2. more mid-morning bubble baths.
Did you know this other thing? Helen and Katie, and their pal Tania, are Captains of the Good Ship Illustration who offer no-nonsense advice for illustrators. They all live at the seaside and dream of an upside-down boat beach hut.
