Bentley Loves His Pack

A cosy Valentine's picture book about one very big, very fluffy dog

It's nearly Valentine's Day, and Bentley — a carrot-loving Malamute cross Husky with one blue eye and one brown eye — wants to show every member of his pack how much he loves them. He gives away his very best things: his squeaky carrot, a magnificent muddy stick, a slobbery tennis ball and even his warm spot by the fire.

But when Bentley has nothing left to give, he finds out that his pack loves him back just as much.

A warm, funny Valentine's read-aloud for ages 2–6

Join-in refrain: "And his big curly tail goes... wag, wag, wag!"

Sound words little ones love and a gentle story about giving, family and love

A calm, snuggly ending that settles beautifully at bedtime

Soft watercolour-style pictures of a warm British family and their very big dog

A lovely Valentine's gift — Valentine gift or Valentine's Day treat for dog-loving toddlers and preschoolers

Meet Bentley's pack: Mummy, Daddy, Austin, Piero and Tails the cat (who prefers the warm spot by the fire, thank you very much).
