Funny, heartfelt and inclusive - a brilliant read! -- Maisie Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths As the owner of a very average dog myself (she won’t do ‘roll over’ no matter how much I try to teach her!) - I obviously loved Aldo and his rivalry with Princess Foo Foo! A really fun story with Jen’s signature funny illustrations - your kid’s gonna love it! -- Lauren Layfield, TV presenter and author of Indi Raye is Totally Faking It Ferris's family are fantastic! I loved his average but adorable dog, his mums (their make-do-and-mend attitude reminded me of me and my partner!), his wise grandpa and many foster-siblings, who remain part of the family even once they have left the family home. All the characters are real and recognisable and a joy to spend time with. This book is warm-hearted, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny. It shows that family is bigger than biology - it's about who you love and who you look out for - and there's room for everyone! -- Sarah Hagger-Holt, author of Proud of Me Funny and engaging with fab illustrations. Me and my daughter love Jen's books! -- Helen Rutter, author of The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh
