My friend, Nick Falk, has been penning this fantastic children's series of books, which have now been published by Random House in Australia.
It's been fascinating watching the process that he has been through to get the books onto shelves; from finding a publisher, editing the books, working with the illustrator to bring the stories to life, book signings and promotions (in costume! yes, he is a nutter) and finally this fantastic promotional video made by his wife, Carmen Falk - they are a very creative family.
Nick talks here about writing the books. This video is unusual in that he is sitting relatively still and not leaping about dressed like something from the Cretaceous period (don't know it? read the books...). He also talks about his favourite dinosaur, which happens to be a head-butting dinosaur. Who knew?
They are a fantastic series of books that will fuel your child's imagination. Full of fantasy, adventure and rather surprisingly, a lot of facts about dinosaurs and the Cretaceous period. Nick manages to capture the tone of the characters so well and each one has their own story to tell and personal adventure with a dinosaur or two. If you like to read with your kids, then this is certainly a series that you can enjoy together - your back garden will never seem the same again....
The first part of the Saurus Street series are now available in the UK on Amazon... more coming soon!
