Official synopsis Publisher
The Dudgeon is coming ndash; and what’s more, he’s coming tonight! But according to the Bombazine Bear, he’s shy and polite ndash; so why are the Battersea Cat (who was washing her hair), the Swashbuckle Stoat (in his three-cornered hat), the Purple Kazoo (who was knitting a coat) and all the other highly colourful and eccentrically engaged creatures becoming more and more alarmed as the time of his arrival approaches? This is another linguistically rich and deliciously funny rhyming picture book from Lynley Dodd, whose Hairy Maclary is universally adored.
