Mr Walker Gets the Inside Scoop

It's all systems go as the staff prepare for the arrival of an important reviewer. This could be make or break and, with the manager away on holiday, it's up to Mr Walker to be at his charming best. All goes according to plan until Mr Walker sniffs a hint of confusion in the air. Uh-oh! Will this spell success or disaster for our favourite labrador?

Mr Walker and the Dessert Delight

There's a special anniversary celebration happening at the hotel and everyone is excited – especially Mr Walker! A famous chef is flown in for the event, and although she is all smiles and sweet delights, Chef Remy is none too pleased about sharing his kitchen. Mr Walker smells trouble . . . big trouble indeed.

Mr Walker Braves the Night

Halloween is just around the corner and with it comes the promise of treats and walks. Mr Walker can't wait! That is, until his toy wombat disappears without a trace and strange noises start up in the night. Is it Mr Walker's imagination or is there a guest of the spooky kind visiting the hotel . . . ?

Mr Walker and the Perfect Mess

One of the hotel's most treasured staff members is leaving and, while Mr Walker is sad to see Josephine go, he is determined to make her last week a memorable one. If only he can think of the perfect present. First things first - to cope with the summer heatwave and prepare for the Guide Dogs fundraiser. Oof, our little labrador is going to need a nap after this adventure!

“Both books have been printed in hard cover and are filled with very sweet illustrations so will make the perfect gift for a cheeky 5+ reader with a love of dogs and adventure.”

“I fell in love with Mr Walker when he came to a booksellers’ function. He had the insouciant manner of a well bred dog; he was a golden boy.

Jess Black understands dogs and as you read you feel you could reach down and pat Mr Walker.”
