Cinders the dog, a canine resident at Woofington's Dog Rescue, is visited by his Fairy Dogmother and gets to wish for something that would make him happy. But what is it that would make him the happiest of all?

One day, Cinders, a canine resident at Woofington's Dog Rescue, receives a visit from his Fairy Dogmother! She tells him that he can make a wish for whatever he thinks would make him the happiest. But poor Cinders just doesn't know what to wish for! He asks his friends, and he gets all kinds of suggestions--sausages, a bone, a ball, the ability to climb trees...and on and on! Cinders just can't decide, and time is running out. Then one of the older dogs at the rescue gives Cinders one last suggestion. Could it be exactly what Cinders wants to make him happy?
Caroline Crowe spent 10 years as a national newspaper journalist in London, England, before swapping fact for fiction. She now spends her time indulging her love of silliness and writing picture books. When she's not thinking up works that rhyme with pants, she most enjoys reading stories with her three young sons and eating salt and vinegar potato chips.

Richard Merritt has been an illustrator for 15 years after graduating from Central Saint Martin's college of Art and Kingston University. Richard has worked on many varied projects, from children's books and packaging to magazines and costume illustration for Hollywood films. When he is not drawing, Richard enjoys all types of culture. He takes in the wealth of art and theater that London has to offer on a regular basis, and is long suffering fan of Tottenham Hotspur football club.
