In this fun, canine adventure, Boofa Boy Jones and Skippy Gillespie must learn the importance of sharing.

When Boofa Boy Jones steals Skippy Gillespie’s very big bone, a marvellous doggy race ensues. All through the night the pair run through the suburban streets from the doggy dump to the dog park and home again. But who will win the mighty bone, and will they feast all alone?

Award-winning First Nations author Sally Morgan and CBCA award-winning illustrator Karen Blair have created a playful, rhyming adventure that’s perfect for younger readers who love dogs.
