The third in a charming new series by author Nicola Kent. Packed with beautiful full-colour illustrations and a delightful story about best friends, Cat and Dumpling.
Cat and Dumpling are best friends, but they're very different. Cat is an impulsive dreamer who loves to knit, and Dumpling is a cautious planner who loves gardening. In these chapter books for early readers, the pair's far-fetched schemes and conflicting ideas wreak warm-hearted slapstick havoc, but always with a happy ending and a reassertion that despite their differences Cat and Dumpling will always be the very best of friends.
In Go Camping, Cat is itching for an exciting holiday. Dumpling thinks holidays need careful planning, and he can't just leave his garden when there are so many things to do. Following a clever solution to a mishap in the garden, Dumpling agrees to join Cat on a camping trip. But they run into a problem every step of the way! Will they ever make it to the campsite to have their holiday?Look out for the next book in the series: Cat and Dumpling: The Super Duper Shop.
