Thanks for the feedback! Sorry but nothing new has been published since 2009. We'll be on the look out for anything new by Polly Dunbar and will definitely post when we hear something.

I LOVE this book. My daughters love reading it and pointing out who is coming next on each page. It has become a family favorite and I can't wait for the other books in the series...they aren't out yet, are they?
