What if Dad decides Pipsqueak needs another home, far away from Poppy?
Review
Set on an Australian working farm, Poppy falls in love with the runt of their border collie’s litter, Pipsqueak.
Poppy was also born early and struggled as a baby, so she is determined not to let Pipsqueak be left behind!
But her Dad insists that there is no room for pets on the farm, so even if Pipsqueak survives she will be sold like the other five puppies.
As Pipsqueak gets stronger, can Poppy prove to her Dad that they should keep her?
This is a lovely early chapter book that shows life on a farm, and the determination and responsibility that is needed to raise a baby animal. It will suit developing readers aged from six to eight years of age.
