Synopsis

A simple first picturebook about the farmyard by successful children’s writer, broadcaster and poet, Michael Rosen. Dog’s snoring keeps the other animals awake all night. But in the morning, he is fresh as a daisy!

Something has to be done. So the animals get together and make every noise they can think of to wake up Dog, but still he just keeps on sleeping – and snoring.

As the sun rises in the morning Dog finally wakes up, ready for another day. The other animals of course, are more than ready for a good day’s sleep.
