What the stories are about

If you’re looking for cheerful children’s stories about dogs, every Kiwi story begins with Kiwi just being Kiwi — whether that happens to involve cricket matches, village festivals,  going shopping or situations which somehow become far more entertaining than anyone expected.

Inspired by a real dog - real stories, real inspiration in the UK

Kiwi isn’t just a character – he is inspired by a real dog whose wonderfully unpredictable habits, daily routines, absolute confidence, and deeply held belief in the importance of snacks helped shape the stories children now enjoy. That’s why Kiwi the Cockerpoo stories begin with the simple everyday logic of life with a real dog and the wonderfully entertaining consequences which often follow.

​

The series has even been featured in local press, celebrating how simple stories can encourage a love of reading and imagination. The stories also reflect the importance of reading together and supporting children’s confidence through engaging storytelling.

​

Explore the Kiwi the Cockerpoo Stories

The world of Kiwi the Cockerpoo is rooted in ordinary family life — walks through familiar places, small community moments, changing weather, and the gentle rhythm of everyday routines.

For children, seeing stories set in recognisable surroundings can make reading feel more personal and meaningful. The adventures are never far from home, and that sense of familiarity helps young readers feel grounded as they explore each story.​

Who the Kiwi the Cockerpoo stories are for

Designed for children aged roughly 4–8 years, the stories are suitable for bedtime reading, early independent readers, and families who enjoy calm, thoughtful storytelling and reading together.

​

​Why children love stories about dogs

There is something instantly comforting about returning to a familiar character children already know and understand. As readers get to know Kiwi, they begin recognising how Kiwi sees the world — simple priorities, complete confidence, and an unwavering belief that most situations improve considerably once snacks or a short nap become involved. 

​

The joy comes from familiarity. Children know exactly who Kiwi is, but they never quite know what wonderfully unpredictable situation might unfold next.

Parents often ask how to choose a story for your child

For children who enjoy familiar characters – returning to the same recognisable character helps build confidence and anticipation as each story unfolds in an entirely new way.

​

Whether you are looking for a gentle family story, a recognisable recurring character, or simply stories full of warmth, humour and wonderfully unpredictable situations, the Kiwi stories are written around one simple truth – Kiwi simply continues being Kiwi while life around him becomes considerably more entertaining.
