What is The Dudgeon is Coming about?

The Dudgeon is coming—and he will arrive tonight! But nobody knows quite what to expect. The bombazine bear says he is shy and polite, yet the blue cockatoo, stickleback twitch, pineapple pig and all their animal friends grow more and more worried as darkness draws near. Why are they so alarmed? With lively rhymes, playful word choices and a wonderfully mysterious build-up, Lynley Dodd creates an amusing animal adventure full of anticipation, confusion and a surprising arrival.
