A retro, dog-based response to the pretty princess books that currently abound, Poodlena tells the story of a pampered pink poodle who learns that there?s more to life than looking perfect.
This book taught me a lesson about not teaching lessons!

This cleverly crafted fantasy is full of magic, silliness, suspense and adventure and is an absolute hit with the little ones.
