Produktbeschreibung

When author Dave McMullan's wife XiangMin was pregnant with their youngest daughter, she was constantly followed around the streets of their hometown in China by a friendly little Dachshund. Growing fond of their newfound 4-legged friend, the McMullan family decided he deserved a name. His name became 'Banger' after the slang term for sausages in England. They were never sure if Banger had an owner or not, or whether they should take the little Dachshund into their home but as he looked happy and healthy enough, they decided not to. When their daughter Maya was born, Dave and XiangMin would often take her out to see Banger and he, as usual, was happy to see them. After a while Banger stopped coming around; Dave guessed that he had another family to make happy, and so he decided to write a poem for his cousin in London. This was how 'Banger the Sausage Dog - Lost in London' was born! Written in poetry form, 'Banger' is designed to introduce children to the joys of poetry as well as tell a tale of hard work, determination and success. Join Banger the Sausage Dog in an adventure that sees him winding his way to happiness on a foggy day in London town. As he navigates his way through the mist he finds himself in an increasing series of mishaps and adventures. On his travels, Banger struggles against adversity while looking for the joy that he deserves only to find it in the most unusual of places: a red London double-decker bus!
