It’s National Read a Book Day today. To celebrate this, you can order any book from my website for £6 each until 12pm on Sunday. Have a good weekend of reading!

It’s world Ocean’s Day today so we must ensure that we protect the Ocean both for our benefit and more importantly for the benefit of its occupants. Remember that Park and his friends need the ocean in order to survive!

Book 2 – Further Adventures for Aukid and Park have arrived today in both ordinary book and notebook form. The adventures in this book take our two intrepid travellers out of their comfort zone. How will it all end? Copies are available from this site, which will be updated shortly, and by messaging me privately. Happy Reading!

The first batch of Book 2 is arriving tomorrow! This is a ground-breaking ‘Notebook Edition’ of the book that allows you to write down your thoughts about the story, start to write your own story, draw pictures of Aukid and Park’s adventures or just use the blank pages in the book to write down your own personal notes.

I will let you know when they arrive. Watch this space!

A new study has revealed that the total number of seabirds on Lundy has now tripled to over 21,000 birds after the island was declared rat free in 2006. Manx shearwater are now at over 5,500 pairs and puffin numbers have gone from 13 birds to 375 ?

We’re proud to work with our partners to look after the future of seabirds on this island.

Park the Puffin would be very happy to hear this if he wasn’t so involved with trying to find more Great Auks for Aukid! It’s great news though for his species.

Have a look at how Park’s puffin colony would behave. Warning: This has a high ‘cute’ factor!

Go over to TJ International’s web page to read about an interview that I gave to them all about Aukid and Park in ‘The Return of the Great Auk’

You might just find out what could happen in the next book!

I hope that you enjoy it! Please post your comments to me.  Is there anything in particular that you would like Aukid and Park getting up to?  Let me know! It might even be included in a forthcoming story.

A recent review of the book by Max:

I really enjoyed learning about Aukid and Park.  My favourite bit was when the Auk and the puffin were off to Scotland.  I hope there will be another book with more of their adventures.  The pictures were great.’

Max – aged 7

Thank you Max for the photos and the great review..  I love the pictures too! I am happy to tell you that there will be another book, with more of Matt’s fabulous pictures, out next year!

Lovely to see books being enjoyed!

Until the next blog,

Julia
