The critically acclaimed story of one child's experience of foster
care and his journey to a forever, forever home Elliot's parents
love him very much, but they don't have all the skills they need to
take care of a child. When he cries, they do not understand why.
When he yells, they do not know what to do. When he misbehaves,
they do not know how to react. One day a social worker named Thomas
comes to visit, and Elliot's world turns upside-down. Manon
Gauthier's soft collage illustrations feature approachable rabbit
characters, while Julie Pearson's soothing, repetitive text guides
Elliot gently through the foster child system. The new families
that care for the little boy are kind, but everything is strange
and new, and the sudden changes make him want to cry and yell and
misbehave. Then, when it becomes clear that Elliot's parents will
never be able to raise him, Thomas sets out to find Elliot one last
home-a forever, forever home with a family that will love and care
for him no matter what.

"Roger McGough's witty text offers many weird and wonderful
explanations ... Chris Riddell's artwork makes the whole an
imaginative feast" - Bookseller Runner-up for the English
Association 4-11 Award for the Best Children's Picture Book.
Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal. From the minds of the
former Children's Laureate Chris Ridell, and award-winning fellow
of the Royal Society of Literature Roger McGough, comes a
fun-filled book about how things work. Have you ever wondered how a
toaster works? Or a fridge-freezer, or a washing-up machine? In
this fun-filled book of how things work, Dudley, the techno-wizard
dog, provides the answers. Roger McGough's delightfully ingenious
text and Chris Riddell's striking illustrations take children from
the furthest realms of fantasy into the fascinating world of
technology to discover the workings of familiar machines, making it
an exciting book which will delight again and again. At first, it
describes how a child thinks things work... (gnomes in the toaster)
and then Dudley tells you how the various household appliances
really work. Includes all the appliances a curious child would be
interested in: the dishwasher, the fridge-freezer and more. A
funny, imaginative 'how things work' book for ages 4-7.
