  • The Bilby in a Trilby

    Philip James Kirke, writing as Dr Leonard Lizard

    language (Friend Books, March 3, 2013)
    This is a charming rhyming tale of two cousin bilbies; ( a bilby is a long eared Australian marsupial). The entertaining black and white graphics have been designed especially to view as well on black and white e book reader devices as on the colour devices. This playful story gently pokes fun at adult authority and revels in the independence of mind of toddlers. It is all good fun, and - like all of Lizard's work - sits squarely outside the formulaic specifications of "approved" children's literature. Have fun! Take a small risk! No one is going to get hurt - meet Gary and Bub - the bilby hero and heroine of this little e book.
  • The Little Osprey who Learned to Fly

    Philip James Kirke, writing as Dr Leonard Lizard

    language (Friend Books, March 5, 2013)
    This illustrated rhyming tale for young children explores themes of friendship and of belonging. A young Osprey finds the most unlikely of friends in a scruffy lay-about seagull. But friendship is where you find it and the Seagull knows exactly what it is that the Osprey needs. The striking black and white graphics have all of the charm of Lizard's best work and they view as well on black and white e reader devices as on colour devices.
  • Flying Fish and Shag

    Philip James Kirke, writing as Dr Leonard Lizard

    language (Friend Books, June 21, 2013)
    Dr Leonard Lizard is at his charming and cheeky best here with full coloured illustrations in a story that traces the adventures of an unlikely pair: a Flying Fish and a Shag. Like all Lizard's work, behind the fun is a timely life lesson for youngsters, in this case: a lesson in coping with and overcoming ridicule and bullying. In these few short pages Lizard playfully demonstrates how a few good friendships, the will to stand up to one's oppressors and the wisdom to know when to remove oneself from a situation all play out in the brief span of this humorous tale.
