G.N. Hargreaves is the son of Roger Hargreaves – the creator of the very successful Mr Men series. In this book we meet a well-dressed dog, named Douglas.

Douglas can do many things, like play golf, read books, play the tuba and ski but he cannot figure out how to have laugh-out-loud, tail wagging fun. He wants to be able to wag his tail like every other dog, he just doesn’t know how to have fun, and not knowing how to have fun means he can’t wag his tail.

Thankfully a little bird named Basil comes along and takes Douglas on as his mission. Together they discover that Douglas can do silly things and laugh at them, not only can he laugh but he can wag his tail.

The book comes with a page of stickers for readers to enjoy.
