About this book:

Jakkals' wag won't work! Is she sick? Is her tail broken? Mom and Dad are worried, but it is little Lollipop, her best friend, that knows her best. Jakkals and Lollipop love swimming in the lake, Jakkals diving and breaching like a whale. She needs nothing more than Lollipop's understanding to regain her wag.
In spite of the problem of Jakkals' seemingly broken wag, the author manages to keep the story light and positive by using humour and creative language. Humour stimulates creativity and brings a fresh angle to the story and a welcome change from other books for this age group, often with educational or moralising messages. The Dog with the Broken Wag provides lots of opportunity for funfilled interaction between reader and listener, creating lasting memories of shared reading experiences.
