A Pack of Your Own cover

A lonely dachshund dreams of having a friend, but every time the little sausage dog goes to the park they find it hard to fit in. They can only watch the other dogs playing and having fun. Until one day, a friend comes along...

A Pack of Your Own is a warm and funny story about friendship in a dog's world. With exquisitely sweet illustrations, readers are invited to ask themselves questions about friendship. How much should one adapt in order to be accepted and valued by others? Do we really need to be similar in order to be friends? And can a dachshund and a poodle be friends despite their differences?

It's marrowbone for lovers of pre-digital, old fashioned children's books, and an excellent Christmas gift for doggy folk, old and young * Times Children's Book of the Week *
A heart-warming, funny story all about friendship and fitting in in a dog's world... It celebrates differences, friendship, fun and love through its beautifully illustrated pages... The drawings are exquisite... I would happily display it on my coffee table! * Mini Travellers *
The unique art, distinctive canine protagonist, and touching theme about not needing to change to be worthy of friendship will make this picture book a memorable hit at storytime * The Bulletin of the Centre for Children’s Books *
A beautifully illustrated and engaging story about a dog who wants to have friends and to feel like he belongs... Fantastic illustrations... Will be a pleasure to read out loud * Children's Books Ireland *
The perfect picture book to discuss and read for children who are about to start school * @barnbokstugg *
In the shape of a dog's life, Maria Nilsson Thore depicts a universal desire to belong, to feel that one fits in somewhere. * @barnensboktips *
An amazingly illustrated picture book about exclusion and friendship... The story is beautiful, and its message as well * @bibliofil *
