Come Out and Play!

A wildly funny picture book celebrating chaos, playtime, and the wonderfully silly world of dogs. When the humans aren’t around, three mischievous dogs and a squirrel take over the forest for a day of outrageous fun, playful arguments, and escalating hilarity. What begins as a simple invitation to play quickly turns into cheeky banter and increasingly ridiculous antics—with surprises, laughs, and absurd moments waiting on every page. Filled with barking, fart jokes, cakes piled high with gummy bears and marshmallows, and energetic read-aloud rhythm, this exuberant story captures the delightfully messy spirit of childhood play and imagination. Swiss illustrator Nina Wehrle combines bold graphic artwork with playful storytelling to create a sensory-rich reading experience full of humor, movement, and personality. Beneath the silliness lies a warmhearted message about friendship and conflict resolution, making this tall-format picture book both entertaining and surprisingly thoughtful. Loud, lively, and impossible not to read aloud, this is a joyful celebration of fun, friendship, and letting loose.Author: Berger, Alisha Niehaus,author,Wehrle, Nina,author Contributors: Berger, Alisha Niehaus,author,Wehrle, Nina,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: picture_book Published/Release Date: 6 Oct 2026 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: North-South Books Author/Director/Artist: Nina Wehrle Dimension (cm): 320x135x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 13x320x135 mm Item Weight (g): 340 Package Weight (g): 363
