When Milkman Mike's big daft dog Spike sees children playing football he joins in - but it doesn't last long!Milkman Mike books are a delightful children's series for those aged from 2 to 7 years, ideal for those bedtime reads withparents and then when children can read themselves. Milkman Mike lives with his 'big daft dog' Spike in idyllic countryside in the beautiful village of Dairyville and collects his milk from Farmer Cream every morning. Each of the Milkman Mike stories sees Mike and Spike out delivering milk and Spike always ends up being a bit silly along the way. In this first set of 4 books Spike attempts to chase after the runaway bottles, he acts asleep while Mike sees a spaceship, he gets stuck up in a tree and he bursts a football. Everything is solved by Mike with a bottle of milk and a cup of tea. These lovely books are the first in a series that will see further Milkman Mike stories next year. There is already talk of ananimated series similar to Postman Pat and Fireman Sam
