Philip James Kirke, writing as Dr Leonard Lizard
Flying Fish and Shag
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.
