Max and Bella Stories by Celia Child, £4.99

BOWNESS-on-Windermere author Celia Child has teamed up with artist Johnny Boy to create this delightful children's book, featuring the eponymous pair of little white dogs.

It tells how Max and Bella and their best human friend Sophie, who live in Canada, have to adjust to a new life after Sophie's parents get new jobs in England. But before this can happen, they have to cross the Atlantic.

Celia Child's tale explains how the dogs are looked after on their aeroplane flight to London and all the fuss and excitement that such an adventure entails.
