Watch out for the nettles, Pingottino!

Pingottino is a curious little dog who loves going for long little walks and exploring fields and meadows with his little human friend and Grandma Therese, getting into everything: ditches, mud, and even the tall grass.But one day, something strange happens: Pingottino’s little bottom turns as red as a tomato, and he starts spinning round and round, desperate, trying to bite his own bottom!The little narrator is sure he has figured it out: Pingottino has been bitten by a snake and has caught a terrible illness... the bitey-snakey-spotsy! Surely now he will grow a long green tail with spots!But between fears, fantasies and a trip to the doctor, the truth turns out to be much less scary than expected.A funny and tender story that looks at everyday life with humour, ideal for reading aloud at home or at school, and shows how children’s imagination can turn every little mystery into a big adventure.This volume in the series is also set entirely in small caps, to make the picture book more inclusive and accessible for early readers and for children who may find reading difficult.
