Inhaltsangabe

Perry and Perky - The Adventures Continue is the second picture book about the fun-filled adventures of Perry, a resourceful pygmy-possum, and his friend Perky, an adventurous quokka. It is the sequel to Nobody's Friend (But that's not where it ends!) and also contains five different delightful stories (with subtle life lessons) which are designed to be read to children up to 7 years of age, although older children who are good readers may enjoy reading them on their own. The 12 watercolour illustrations are by acclaimed Australian artist, Emma Stuart. The paperback and hardback are printed in Premium Colour. This book is available as an eBook, a paperback and a hardback. In this book, Perry and Perky continue their adventures-travelling by brumby, motorbike, aeroplane and spaceship. As they travel, they meet up with a group of burrowing animals around a campfire, a patch of petunias on strike, wildlife thieves, and pear-shaped creatures from another planet. The synopsis of each story is as follows: A Peaceful Place: When the brumby they had been travelling on needed to rest, Perry and Perky meet Winston Wombat and his burrowing friends at a campfire and they tell Perry and Perky why they are there. The Petunia Patch: Perry dreams that the petunias have closed their petals because the insects take their nectar and pollen without permission. A petunia explains why, and from then on, everyone practised good manners. Perky Proves He Can: Wildlife thieves capture Perry and Perky. Perry's torpor-time prevents him from doing anything about it so it's up to Perky to save them all. Pyrusians: A spaceship carrying pear-shaped creatures from Planet Pyrus crashes into a rainforest on Earth. Cammie and Leon are playing outside the spaceship despite being told not to leave it. The children learn that disobedience has its consequences. Planet Pyrus: Cammie and Leon go back to school after returning to Planet Pyrus. When Cammie says there is life on other planets, she is called a liar. Pyrusians were just green, pear-shaped blobs and didn't believe anything else was possible. She and Leon brought Perry and Perky to school as proof. In due course, Pyrus becomes ablaze with colour.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The Author is a former school teacher with a Master of Education degree who currently tutors in Maths and English and writes stories for children's picture books. In addition to the ongoing Perry and Perky series for younger children, she has written a full-length fairy tale for older children titled Magic? Who Needs It! - a modern fairy tale. The Author intends to tutor for many years yet because she is passionate about helping children to improve their school work and to improve their attitude towards it and themselves. Prior to writing children's stories, most of the writing the Author had done was related to her studies and work as a teacher. She did enter two caption writing competitions and won both, and while this isn't story writing, it is evidence that she can be clear, concise and humorous. She writes not just to entertain, but to subtly teach wise life lessons that are relevant no matter what age the reader is. All stories are positive, wholesome and educative.
