LindumBooksWho doesn’t love an independent bookshop?

Lincoln is lucky to have the beautiful Lindum Books in the Bailgate and when I read that its bookseller Gill Hart‘s favourite book of the week, “that generates a whole range of emotions and a little lump in the throat”, was a children’s picture book I had to ask her to write a review of it for us!

I will love you anyway by Mick and Chloe Inkpen is published by Hodder Children’s Books, priced £6.99.

IWLYA2“A lovely story for littlies and grown-ups alike about a naughty puppy told from the pup’s perspective, human words just make no sense to this irrepressible character,” writes Gill.

“The story is told in rhyme, which makes it a pleasure to read and listen to aloud through lots of repetitions and takes us through the whole range of emotions including some of the darker ones.

“There is peril and the threat of loss here, but it’s not a big spoiler to say all ends well for this endearing little chap.”

Take a peek inside its pages on Chloe Inkpen’s website: I will love you anyway.
