'Brave Bruiser is off on another adventure, this time on a plane! Join Bruiser as he travels through Europe, exploring new countries, cultures and foods. In this beautifully illustrated travel tale, Bruiser discovers that the world is a wonderful place to explore, learn and grow with the help of some new furry friends!

'Travel with playful puppy Bruiser as he explores the streets of Santorini, eats his way through Rome and takes a riverboat cruise in Vienna. In Paris, Bruiser meets a pretty poodle, before new friend Ludwig takes him to see the historic Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

'Have a laugh in London, when boisterous Bruiser plays with royalty, then climb Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh with his new pal, Sheila, the sweetest Scottish Terrier you'll ever meet. Bruiser spends his last day chasing ducks in Dublin with Kerry, the Irish Setter who loves to run and play, just as much as his Aussie mate.

'This gorgeous rhyming tale is set against the beautiful illustrations of the talented Julie Leiman Weaver, with soft, inviting imagery making the perfect backdrop to Bruiser's latest adventure.

'Bruiser's G'day from Europe introduces the concepts of exploring safely, making new friends and learning about the different cultures that make up the world. Allow your child to be drawn into the magic of another Bruiser tale, structured to excite and enchant early readers while widening their world view.

'Another classic Australian children's story, written by Diana Smith, this sweet tale of a playful puppy making his way across Europe will be sure to be a firm family favourite.'(Publication summary)
