Zoe at Madge Eekal Reviews has just done a wonderful review on Don’t Eat Pete! by Sue Walker and Carlo Beranek ‘A fantastical story about a troll with a very big appetite and a very frustrated pug. This is worth reading purely to find out how Pete the pug gets his revenge. The cartoon-like pictures are bright and appealing.
