“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 Russel 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!
Read the first book in a series all about yours truly: The first book in a series of stories about Biggles – the little farm dog who uses grit and resilience to help his Farmer and get through his day. Yep – a Jack Russel can teach human pups a lot about never giving up – while they’re having fun with me. I’m multi-talented like that.
An Australian children’s picture book with access to early learning framework resources.
Every Biggles book comes with a free bookmark.
Even better, each book means a donation to Berry Street, who help kids be safe, hopeful and thriving.

Hey, guess what? My second book is out now too! I could jump for joy. Ruff ruff!! In this story, I see all my mates on the farm have special qualities. And I think they’re awesome! But sometimes, that makes me feel a bit smaller than them, you know? But don’t worry about me, by the end of the story my mates help me discover the awesome things about me. You might even say, I’ve got superpowers! I bet you’ve got superpowers too! Read along with me, and we’ll find them together. Ruff!
