On a snowy winter's morning, footprints trace a path from a child's
unmade bed, past discarded clothes and breakfast dishes to the
front door where they're joined by excited pawprints. But who else
is making the footprints and what are they doing? In this
delightful wordless picture book, the story of a child and a dog
enjoying the snow is told entirely through following their
footprints. Readers will spot clues to the friends' adventures in
the detailed and playful vintage illustrations by world-renowned
illustrator Gerda Muller.
Solomon is a young lion who can’t fall asleep. He tries sleeping in a tree, like a bat, but that’s not quite right. He tries to snooze in a pond with the hippos, but that doesn’t work, either. How long will it take until Solomon realises that it’s not where you sleep that matters, but who tucks you in at night?
