Ollie and His Friends - my first children's book.

Ollie and His Friends - my first children's book.

Gather around everybody. To all mums, dads, uncles, aunties, cousins and grandparents, this is the best investment you'll make for your children and grandchildren. You've read David Walliams, JK Rowling, Enid Blyton, Julia Donaldson and thousands of books for children and about children.

You've joyfully flicked through those memorable childhood adventures, books about heroes, kings, queens, fairies, garden gnomes, tea pots that whistle incessantly, fantasy worlds of chocolate trees, flowers, golden tickets and all those swashbuckling knights in armour from long ago who swept fair maidens off their feet  and where everybody lived happily after ever. You've seen Jungle Book and the right up to date Dumbo, all of those superb cartoons in which Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto once so brightly illuminated our movie screens and Walt Disney was the creator of childhood magic.

Now ladies and gentlemen it's time to introduce you to my first children's book called Ollie and His Friends. Your children and grandchildren will love Ollie the Oboe and his musical instrument friends will be their friends for life. There's Harry the Harp, Vince the Violin, Glenda the Guitar, Penny the Piano, Beau the Banjo and so much more.

 Ollie and His Friends is now available to buy at Amazon, Lulu.com. and Barnes and Noble online. It's designed for children who love to giggle, chuckle, laugh and guffaw, pointing delightedly at the kind of childhood characters who may have lit up their parents life. They'll be rolling around on the carpet with gushing laughter, happiness and ecstasy. They'll be pleading with you to read Ollie and His Friends over and over again because that's the kind of Oboe Ollie is. He's lovable and adorable, warm hearted, big hearted, kind and generous and never lets anybody down.

Now there may be a part of you who's heard of all this before. You've probably told the same kind of story to your children loads and loads of times. You know the one I'm talking about. It's the one where all the main characters go off on a great big, tremendous adventure where the sun always shines and everybody has fun. It's a simple format and it's old as time itself. Everybody smiles, whoops triumphantly, jumps into the air, somersaults athletically and- wait for it- eats jam sandwiches.

Ollie and His Friends is no ordinary children's story. It's an extraordinary story about musical instruments who just love life, sharing jokes, being inoffensively silly and generally enjoying life. Your children's eyes will sparkle, their belief suspended and their imaginations will go on a magical fairground ride.

So there you have it folks. This is my first children's book Ollie and His Friends and if you like your children's books that are funny, easy to read and easily identifiable then you've definitely come to the right place.  So calling all parents, grandparents and the whole family. In fact this is for all children's story tellers who can't wait to tell their children about Ollie the Oboe and his friends. They're in for the biggest surprise because Ollie is one amazing musical instrument.
