'There once was a dog who had no name.
And he had no home.
What he did have was fleas.
But they weren't much company.'


Fleabag won The Dundee Picture Book Award

Shortlisted for The Blue Peter 'Best Fun Book with Pictures' Award (I got to appear on Blue Peter!)

Commended at The Sheffield Picture Book Awards

Won a Silver Star Award at the Norfolk Libraries Children's Book Awards 2009.

“Fleabag is the worthy winner of the Dundee Picture Book Award 2009. Our children, teachers and parents just loved it. When we first saw it we knew it had to be on our long list. When the children who help us select the shortlist saw it, they were equally excited. The four short-listed titles were all outstanding picture books but Fleabag struck a cord with the 800 children involved in the project and this is reflected in the result of the vote.”
Stuart Syme, Senior Library and Information Officer, School Library Service, Dundee.
