The Four Little Pigs is in the shops!

The Four Little Pigs is in the bookshops!  I’m sooooo excited – now all my friends can get one.   Talking of books, I went into Granny’s library (a very dusty and dark room that I try to avoid!) last weekend and found the “Four Little Pigs” book.  The real one, the one that I got zapped into.  It was great having a look through and seeing myself looking like… Read More »The Four Little Pigs is in the shops!

On the way to Alice Springs

G’day mates. Detective Jack reporting from the road again. The Dog Detectives are on their way to Alice Springs, otherwise known as the Red Centre. Alice Springs is home to the famous Flying Doctors. I was disappointed to learn that the doctors fly in aeroplanes, not like Superman. I guess all that medical equipment is too heavy for them. Flying doctors are important because the towns in outback Australia can… Read More »On the way to Alice Springs

Piskies in Cornwall!

Hello everyone!  I’ve just got back from a holiday with my family.  We went to Cornwall in the caravan (not very magical I’m afraid!).  Granny loves Cornwall, she says it’s full of stories of magic and magical creatures. While we were there we stopped off at an old friend of my Granny’s.  To my surprise, he was a piskie! (a Cornish pixie).  We stayed at his house for tea (well… Read More »Piskies in Cornwall!

Aussie Camels

Good Morning! Deputy Poco Loco here, barking with excitement. What a morning we have had. As the sun rose, the Dog Detectives were riding high atop camels (yes there are camels in the Outback…Lots of them!). A dogolistic thrill of thrills I tell you! Detective Jack, camel rider extraordinaire, did not fall off as I expected. He might be ready for the Camel Cup race after all. Camels aren’t the… Read More »Aussie Camels

It was an early morning; Harry, Netty and the others were playing pirates.  Sonny the sea tractor was the pirate ship and Molly was the parrot.  As they were playing they heard a huge squawk!  It was Stephen Seagull; he was trying to catch fish in his enormous beak, but was sinking in the sand.  Sonny, Harry Netty and Molly had to save him but before they did they all said… Read More »Sinking Seagull

Planning

Hi everyone! Oinkerella is doing some experimenting for new cake recipes with Twinkle helping.  So I thought I would out my feet up and write a blog. So why are they experimenting?  Well the other week Oinkerella suggested to me about holding a book party to launch ‘Princess Chloe’s Sticky Adventure‘.  I thought ‘what a great idea!’ so now we’re trying to decide what cake’s to bake.   Twinkle suggested… Read More »Planning
