The Goffins Go Batty by Jeanne Willis
The third hilarious and heartwarming book about George's adventures with the Goffins sees George, Lofty and Eave desperate for a pet as they go batty for bats ... and dogs ... and goldfish... With George beginning to feel at home living at Grandma’s house, his thoughts turn to having a pet. Lofty and Eave – the Goffins who live secretly in Grandma’s attic – discover a lost puppy living in the garden and, with George, set upon hilarious ways to make it their pet. But how can George convince his parents he’s able to look after a puppy? With the help of the Goffins and an injured bat called Gable, George discovers what goes into looking after a pet, and how a puppy can bring everyone together.
