Adventures of the Dachshund Tessa - Tessa's Cathedral Tour - Story by Andreas Loewe and pictures by Ray McInnes
This charmingly illustrated children's book follows Tessa, a dachshund, who has 'the most important job in all of St Paul's Cathedral' as the Dean's helper.
With her soft brown eyes, shiny coat, and (almost) perfect manners, Tessa enjoys her days napping on her special office cushion and greeting visitors.
When a group of schoolchildren tours the Cathedral, Tessa befriends a shy student, Lily, who feels overwhelmed by the grand building.
As the tour goes on, Tessa's keen nose discovers a hidden panel in a column that contains a time capsule left there by the Cathedral's builders.
This story celebrates the special role animals play in our historic spaces, while gently teaching young readers about cathedral architecture, history and the value of kindness.
Beautiful watercolour illustrations capture Tessa's adventures and the Cathedral's grandeur from a child's point of view.
A Kid's Adventure Guide to the Cathedral helps young explorers discover the many treasures of St Paul's Cathedral Melbourne.
