I love listening to the conversations in the pet food aisle of the supermarket: “Not that one! She likes the chicken not the beef!” “Was it the jelly or the gravy?” “Gravy! She HATES jelly!” So cute 🤭

Detective Beans by @exocomics.com is fast becoming one of the best series you can have in your classroom. Every book is filled with stunning artwork and the stories are always heartwarming and hilarious throughout. Book three is no exception and is another must have.

In book three of the Detective Beans series, the fearless feline pieces together a mystery that winds through amusement parks, secret tunnels, and pirate ships—and a twist that nobody in Cat Town saw coming! Get excited for this book to hit the shelves in ten days in the US 🗺️ @exocomics.com

At my Brisbane book launch last night a little girl asked if I would be back next year and I told her I hope so, if Penguin lets me. Her eyes went so wide and she was like “you have a pet penguin?!”
