Description
In a house by the sea there happily live a dog, a cat and a mouse. Well, happily enough until a stranger knocks on the door one night, offering them each a special free gift. Who is this mysterious salesman blowing into their little world and turning it upside-down? And can their happy home survive his trouble-making gifts?
A modern fable about happiness and friendship from the award-winning Mini Grey

Mini Grey is one of the Big Picture's ten Best New Illustrators.
Reviews
Mini Grey's beautifully illustrated story improves with each reading as the stranger's mission and legacy becomes more intriguing - is he good or bad? A lovely book to open up discussion with little ones who like a bith of depth to their bedtime reading * Daily Mail *
This is yet more proof of Grey's knack for telling stories with beautiful emotional depth. A reassuring read * Junior *
A quirky, life-affirming tale with a central message about the value of friendship and the importance of thinking of others. But what really makes this book is the beautiful, remarkably evocative illustrations. I found myself genuinely longing to share the characters' existence in their idyllic seaside home * Guardian *
