Play Find Dippy
Dippy the dog is a sneaky little pup. He's hiding on almost every page of the Norman and Friends picture books, sometimes in plain sight and sometimes very well tucked away.
Next time you read Lennie, Norman, Timmy or Jon-Jon, ask your little one to find Dippy on each page. Can you spot him in the picture at the top of this page? Some are easy. Some will have grown-ups looking twice too.
