St Francis - Sue Eves

Here Rover! Here Spot! Come on Fido! Good boy Patch! What would you call a puppet dog?

That's the challenge faced us when we were visited by author and BBC TV puppeteer Sue Eves.
Sue brought her puppet dog with her when the name was revealed, and the winning name was Woofy chosen by Maddy and Demcee each of whom were given a prize of a book token. A photographer from the local press was there to take the photographs.

After the naming ceremony Sue read her new picture book to us. In 'The Quiet Woman And The Noisy Dog' (illustrated by Ailie Busby).
A quiet woman and her noisy dog meet a noisy woman and her quiet dog in the park and the dogs get muddled up.
It is an onomatopoeic story of comic confusion that results in friendship for two dogs and their owners.
