This book is a well-crafted collaboration between writer and illustrator, packed full of easy to read information and outstanding illustrations.  Who knew that this gentle Weta had such a rich history.  The text is perfectly aimed at upper primary, but will be enjoyed across all age groups.

As someone who loves the New Zealand bush and all of its inhabitants, I am certain that this book will change many views of this much maligned insect and give readers a better appreciation of the conservation work currently being carried out.  The rhyming words opposite the descriptive passages expand the ways in which this book can be enjoyed.

As for the motto – keep calm and carry on – perfect!

(Terry was the illustrator for Fearless Fred and the Flood)

I will be starting to send ‘Fred’ out to those who have already ordered a copy next week, so please message me at sudrm@xtra.co.nz to give me your address and to arrange payment. Congratulations to those people who will be receiving a free copy of ‘Fred and the Dragon’.

The books arrive from the printer this coming Monday, and will cost $NZ20.00 each, with free postage for New Zealand and Australia.  Fred would love to travel further so contact me on my ‘get in touch’ button above to inquire.  Payment can be made through Paypal.

I am intending to give $2 from every book I sell to the Northland Emergency Services Trust for the Rescue Helicopter.  I’ll keep you updated with that.
