IvyKids Saturday: The Great Truffle Snuffle

In Lindsay Cordero's picture book The Great Truffle Snuffle, Peri (a pig) and Tubs (a dog) are best friends who live at an orchard where magnificent truffles grow. They spend their days sniffing and (very gently!) digging in the rich soil.

And now... you can join them! Come on down to the Ivy with the kids to try a truffle dig activity for yourself. Then, follow real live truffle dogs from Virginia Truffles to a truffle digging demo in the gardens behind the bookshop!
