Ernie and the Magic Kennel

Join The Breeze's Jeanette Thomas and Robert Rakete with Ernie, Benny and a colourful cast of adorable doggie pals on a magical journey of family and friendship around the world.

There, inside the kennel, Ernie sat upon his chair.
And oh, so proud, he read aloud:
"Adventures start right here! This kennel's full of magic," read Ernie with delight.
"In this you'll fly, up in the sky. Get packed, you leave tonight!"

Big Green Frog in the Toilet

Author and comedian Anh Do takes toilet humour to a new level with his latest book. The story may seem obvious by the title, there is a frog that is big, green and residing in the toilet, but the endearing quality about this book is the hilarious actions of the story and the illustrations that embody the words on the page.
