Calm Down Cooper!

Our hero, a characterful young puppy, is top-dog at home, and the happiest pooch in town. Until … one day, a new pet arrives – a pesky parrot called Pandemonium (Pandy for short) – and poor Cooper’s perfect world is turned upside down.

When his owner goes out for the day, entrusting our proud hero with the task of guarding the house for the very first time, the parrot decides to invite a few old friends over to hang out. One by one, as the parrot’s increasingly exotic friends arrive, the noise and mess escalates.

Chaos ensues and though Pandy thinks Cooper should just calm down and enjoy the party, the puppy starts to panic! Can he cope? How will he clean up in time? Will he still be the perfect pet in his owner’s eyes? Find out in this riotous rhyming tale which builds to a wonderfully witty ending.
