Are there any dads and grandads, mums and grannies out there who would like a new picture book to read to the little ones who enjoy all things fishy?   This is my own original rhyming story about Bernard's adventure with his underwater pals.    Illustrations are all my own work. The book has 24 pages and is A4 size with large colour pictures and laminated front cover. Age group about 4 -10 years. If any buyer would like me to write something inside book I'd be happy to do that. Please write message clearly.     $20 each, plus standard post $3.90. ( for up to about 3 or 4 copies.)

Sometimes I have to read it through twice, lights on, 'cause he gets a bit nervous when Fangs the Shark comes on the scene.

Thanks for all the interest in the Bernard book, that has been received.   Hoping there are now more happy story readers out there.   The plan is eventually to produce a sequel to Bernard, which is already in the pipeline.

Sounds great, will "Barnacle Bill" feature as a cameo role in the new book? LOL
