Punk Rocker Poodle

Description

This punk rocker poodle is full of attitude - modelled on the average terrible toddler! No school. No THANKS. No. NO. NO! Laura Dockrill's inimitable style of poetic rap is brilliantly suited to this romp through the house and round and round the playgroup, as one little poodle demonstrates what fun it is to stomp and stamp and pout . . . that is until naptime, when all she really wants is a . . . CUDDLE! There is a funky music video quality to this text, and the artwork will match the anarchic playfulness of the rap!
