Ever wonder why the sky is blue?
Announcement posted by InHouse Publishing 08 Nov 2016
The Garden Bug series is an engaging, educational children’s picture book series written by Dr Richard Whitlow (Dr R). The series follows curious garden dwellers as they search for answers to questions equally curious young readers may have about things that happen in the garden. The Garden Bug series explores topics such as the colour of the sky, animal noises, and spider webs.
Each book is colourful, and full of pictures and conversation to interest young readers. At the end of each book is a puzzle for young readers to test with what they have just learnt. A list of online resources is also included at the end of each book for curious young minds to continue down the road of discovery.
For those readers who wish to know about the current adventures of the real life Gee Gee Garden Bug, he has a Twitter account, via Dr R: dr_gardenman.
As a retired geographical scientist, Dr Whitlow has combined his love of writing and geography to write the Garden Bug series and educate young children on things that happen in the garden. He was inspired by a ‘gardener girl’ who came to a talk that he gave on native plant gardening at his local library.
Dr Whitlow also speaks at venues where plants are celebrated, such as botanic gardens, nature parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and the infamous Bunnings Warehouse. He has previously spoken at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and his current list of library visits includes the Nerang, Helensvale, and Upper Coomera libraries.
