Children Fiction

Some things you just can't talk about . . . Locked in the loo. Kissing a cold, cold kid. Being a little squirt. Burning your behind. However, Paul Jennings talks about all of them! Paul Jennings is one of the true successes in Australian children's writing. His success began in December 1985 with the publication of Unreal!. Within months it was in the bestseller lists and in every child's schoolbag. This collection includes The Strap Box Flyer, Skeleton on the Dunny, Lucky Lips, Cow Dung Custard, Lighthouse Blues, Smart Ice Cream and Wunderpants. About the Author: Paul Jennings worked as a special-education teacher, then speech pathologist, then became senior lecturer at Warrnambool Institute of Advanced Education (now part of Deakin University) before turning to full-time writing. Helping children learn to read, particularly those with difficulties, has been a huge motivator throughout his career.
