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.

‘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

Charming, sad and funny. The day it arrived, my three-year old insisted we read it thirteen consecutive times
Poignant and comical story about friendship
Teaching children about conceptual ideas, like unconditional love, is a tall order, but I Will Love You Anyway gets it spot on
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.
