I Will Love You Anyway

I Will Love You Anyway

by Mick Inkpen (Author), Chloe Inkpen (Illustrator), Chloe Inkpen (Illustrator), Mick Inkpen (Author)

Synopsis

I don't do 'sit!'
I don't do 'stay!'
But I will love you anyway.

From the celebrated creators of Kipper, Wibbly Pig, and Zoe and Beans comes a picture book to treasure. Dog is very badly behaved - he destroys everything, chases cars and won't stop running away! But when he finds himself lost and alone there is one person he can count on.

Praise for Mick Inkpen:
'You simply cannot fail to win smiles with a new book about Kipper.' Daily Mail
'The charmingly comical Inkpen, as always, hits the spot.' Guardian

Praise for Zoe and Beans:
'These books will become well-loved members of any child's book collection.' Carousel

It wasn't until Mick became a father that he began his career in children's books. Now father and daughter have come together for a unique and exciting picture book partnership.

Poignant and comical story about friendship * Carousel *
Teaching children about conceptual ideas, like unconditional love, is a tall order, but I Will Love You Anyway gets it spot on * Smallish Magazine *
Poignant and thought provoking story about a pet dog and his boy ... the reunion of dog and boy is beautifully drawn ... This is quite a subtle message about love and friendship -- that you don't give love just because of what someone can do for you (perform tricks, obey, etc) but being loved is the greatest gift you can receive. * School Librarian *
