Description

Celebrate the quiet courage of an unlikely hero with Jellycat Munro In the Middle, a heartwarming board book written by Steve Smallman and illustrated by Mikki Butterley. This gentle tale follows Munro, a thoughtful little Scottie dog who often feels overlooked among his more outgoing pup friends. Betty’s the tidiest, Otto’s the smartest, and Tilly’s the fastest—but what makes Munro special?

When Cooper Doodle, the most energetic pup of the bunch, suddenly goes missing one chilly afternoon, the group is thrown into worry. As the weather turns cold and snowy, someone must step up to brave the elements and find their friend. It’s in this moment that Munro discovers his own quiet strength and shows that being in the middle doesn’t mean being left behind.

With 22 sturdy pages and a size of 18 x 23cm, this beautifully illustrated board book is perfect for little hands and growing imaginations. The story is filled with warmth, friendship, and a gentle message about self-worth and bravery. Young readers aged 2 to 4 will love following Munro’s journey and learning that everyone has something special to offer—even if it’s not always the loudest or fastest.

The expressive illustrations bring each pup’s personality to life, while the snowy setting adds a cosy, wintry charm. Whether read aloud at bedtime or explored independently, Munro In the Middle is a lovely addition to any child’s bookshelf and a thoughtful gift for little ones navigating their own place in the world.

Let Munro’s quiet determination inspire your next storytime. This tale of friendship, courage, and finding your voice is sure to become a treasured favourite.
