About this book

It’s only been ten minutes since Albert’s dad left the living room, but in that time, chaos has occurred! Dad comes in to find a flustered Albert lying amongst toppled-over furniture with mud and macaroni cheese covering the walls. Albert blames the mess on the dog in the room. But wait a minute – Albert doesn’t have a dog...Whose dog is this? 

So, Albert begins a tall story as he attempts to talk his way out of a messy situation. It’s a story which will involve a secret agent dog called Jonny Waffles who is on the hunt for an evil goose, Doctor Feathers Von Beak. Dad is not convinced. Will Albert be in trouble, and will he get his pudding tonight? 

This fun and action-packed picture book combines hilarious, domestic adventure story with an endearing look at the relationship between father and son. There is humour that will appeal to both caregivers and children – parents and carers will relate to the familiar situation of children trying to talk themselves out of mischief and the back-and-forth exchange between father and son. Meanwhile, young readers can delight in the vibrant illustrations and small details that bring this zany and riotous story to life.
