Eric Gordon Hill OBE was a popular author and illustrator of children's picture books, best known for his character Spot the Dog.

Eric Hill is very tuned in to young children. Although it took a while to get to the "problem" Spot an his friend face in this story, it turns out to be a brilliant book about friendship. Very, very special indeed.
