DUG, in the vein of Walliams, Pullman and Dahl shows how adults can get stuck in their own narrative and do not recognise their children’s progress in the world. What were amazing, funny and slightly terrifying stories Dug told to his 3-year-old grandson do not stand up to the scrutiny of the 8-year-old child he is now and does, in fact become a big embarrassment! Even though friends, new to the tales Dug relates, find him entertaining, it does his grandson’s street cred no good at all. A cautionary tale – told from the child’s eye – relationships change and adults should recognise and grow with the change.This is a grandad/grandchild tale with a difference.
“Dug is a funny, touching story that illustrates the effects of those little fibs we tell our children to get them to behave, or because we don’t know the real answer to their questions, or just for fun. Both my children and I laughed out loud, until the end. I would highly recommend it.”
