“Good dog, Biggles”
“Good dog, Biggles”
It’s what Farmer Joe says to me at the end of every day, and apart from “find the mouse” it’s my favourite thing in the world to hear.
Ruff!
I’m Biggles, and ruff – I am such a lucky dog. I live in the most amazing place a Jack Russell Terrier could want to live: yeah, that’s right – an Australian Farm! I know mate, it’s tops. Every single day there’s work to do, games to play and exciting smells that make my nose sizzle. But my first job is to show you around this sunny patch of internet you’ve found. Good human, well done. Anyway, this is the place to find out all about my adventures on my Australian farm. Oh yeah, don’t mind Cat. She always looks a bit snarly; it’s just her way. Hey, hey, ruff! Watch that wobbly step as you come off the verandah, too. Good on ya.
Come on! Run this way!
BIGGLES GOES TO WORK
BIGGLES FINDS HIS SUPERPOWERS
BIGGLES THE PERSISTENT PUP
MEET THE TEAM
Read the first book in a series all about yours truly! This book tells the tale of a busy day I spent helping Farmer Joe on the farm. Gee whiz, I really earned my dinner that day! But you know, working hard and helping out is about the funnest thing I know how to do. Yep – a Jack Russell can teach human pups a lot about contributing and never giving up – while they’re having fun with me. I’m multi-talented like that.
This is my second book, and it’s all about how I found my superpowers! You see, I was hanging out with my mates on the farm, and noticed how each of them had all these amazing strengths and abilities. And for some reason, it left me feeling a little bit blue, because I felt like there wasn’t really anything special about me. Aw, but don’t worry mate, I’ve got great friends, and they helped me to realise that there’s heaps special about me! Here’s a little secret, just between you and me… we’ve all got superpowers! Read along with me, and I bet you’ll find yours too!
So this is my last book in the series. In this tale I admit it – I’m a little doggo, and sometimes that makes it hard for me to help out with some of the jobs on the farm. And some of the other animals tease me when they see me struggle. But gosh darn it, that’s not going to make me give up! Join me on this adventure and see how I learn that believing in myself can help me overcome anything!
Meet everyone who helps tell my stories right here. From the author to the illustrator to the wonderful Australian charity organisations that my books support. We are so lucky to have such a fabulous community of people around us helping us do great things. You can read about the inspiration behind my stories, from the Author herself. Oh, and check out a photo of me in my element – baling hay on the farm!
Aw hey – are you a parent, teacher, or organisation who works with young children? Firstly, I salute you. You deserve my best ever “Ruff!” Secondly, you might want to ask some questions on how to work these books into your curriculum. I’ve got humans prepared with answers for stuff like that. All you need to do is send us a (regular, human) email here. Let me at it! I’ll grab it by the scruff and get it sorted! What’s next? No seriously, why are you stopping mate? I’m nowhere near tired yet, let’s go. Let’s do it. Keep up. Ruff!
