It's an animal with an engine. Or is it a car with floppy ears and a wet nose? This is the world of TruckDogs.
Graeme Base is one of the world's leading creators of picture books. His alphabet book, Animalia, received international acclaim when it was first published in 1986, and has achieved classic status with worldwide sales of more than 2 million copies. His most recent book, a novel for young readers called Truckdogs, is also available on audio from Bolinda. Graeme lives in Melbourne with his artist wife, Robyn, and their three children. Stig Wemyss is Australia’s most loved audiobook narrator for children and young adults. He has lent his voice to the work of some of Australia’s most accomplished authors, including Andy Griffiths, Paul Jennings, Tim Winton, Marcus Zusak, Margaret Clarke and, most recently, Andrew Daddo. For the last three years he has been the recipient of the ABIA audiobook of the year award, including for the Trent Dalton's widely acclaimed debut novel Boy Swallows Universe. Stig has also written his own successful audiobook series entitled, The Tripp Diaries, which he narrates himself. His success and popularity have led him to develop a one-man comedy show for kids, Stig Live @ The Library, which he has performed in schools and libraries around Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
'Lovers of Graeme's timeless work will delight ... and kids will
adore the onomatopoeia.' (on Cows Say Moo)
*Kids' Book Review*
'These creatures are cute, friendly and non-threatening to children
and divide neatly into two groups ... I would recommend this ...
(and the series) to adults looking for a gentle, low-key story for
the pre-schooler in their life.' (on The Balloon)
*Queensland Reviewers Collective*
'The absurdity and unlikely behaviour of the animals strengthens
the storyline. There is a lovely economy of words which tell the
story with skill.' (on The Tree)
*GLAM Adelaide*
