About this book

Buzz the dog is a self-described Sausage Wolf (part sausage, part wolf) who is incredibly excited to be moving in with a new family. 

Accompanied by his best friend Trilby the mouse, he attempts to make a good first impression. He shows off his wolf side, growling and chasing squirrels, but ends up causing chaos in the park. 

He demonstrates his cosy sausage side, snuggling up for a film night and even wearing special doggy PJs. But Buzz’s excessive tail wags and kisses end in a spilled hot chocolate fiasco! Poor Buzz just can’t seem to get it right.

Finally, supported by the sage advice of Trilby, Buzz realises that his family love him for who he truly is: a silly, squirrel-chasing, biscuit-loving, excitable, bottom-trumpeting, and ridiculously adorable Sausage Wolf!

Young readers will instantly fall in love with Buzz and his hilarious antics. Aurélie Lise-Anne’s characterful, full-colour illustrations capture his wonderful personality perfectly and feature generously on every page. 

Also featuring accessible text and plenty of humour, this is a brilliant choice for newly independent readers looking for a delightful animal story with a gentle message about being true to yourself.
