About The Book

Toodle knows all the places to snaffle crunchy munchy treats in Lillipilly Lane. But there’s no cat food in Princess Purrfect’s bowl and Toodle senses something is wrong. What has happened to the clippy cloppy lady? Can Toodle be a hero and rescue her?

Toodle’s adventure sees him becoming unselfish when someone needs help — from one of Australia’s greatest storytellers.
“A charming story, told in rich, entertaining language with imaginative and inspiring illustrations - it's a delight.”
Noni Hazlehurst – Actor and Author

“I love spending time reading stories to my two grand-daughters, and Richard Tulloch’s Toodle the Cavoodle, Sniffle Snuffle is such a joy to read out loud. Toodle the Cavoodle is pure entertainment for the entire family!”
Richard Wilkins, AM – Channel 9 Entertainment Editor

“Richard’s writing is brilliant and I love his use of rhyme and onomatopoeia. I’m so thrilled to have been asked to write Toodle’s theme song…it’s such a musical name…the song will write itself!’
John Field – Composer (450+ songs for The Wiggles)

“The playfulness of Tulloch’s words is irresistible … a rollicking read-aloud. I have no doubt young children will want the adults in their lives to read Whoops-a-diddle over and over again”
