SYDNEY, Australia (MMD Newswire) August 30, 2011 — “The Amazing Adventures of Thomas and Erin with Granddad – The Zoo” (ISBN 1463522843), an illustrated children’s book by John Vasey, is the latest installment in a series of adventures that follow two precocious children and their grandfather at interesting locations.
Written as a sequel to the successful publication of “The Amazing Adventures of Thomas and Erin with Granddad – The Market,” the book continues Vasey’s emphasis on simple descriptions and colorful illustrations. This time around, the trio visits a local zoo where they see giraffes, elephants, gorillas and even a group of bears eating lunch. Thomas and Erin eat lunch at the zoo and eventually leave after a long day of exciting sights, sounds and smells.
“After the incredible success of the first book, I wanted to continue the theme of connecting grandchildren to their grandparent in a simple, straightforward way” says Vasey. “It provides an entertaining tale that any granddad can read to his grandchildren.”
Inspired by Vasey’s grandchildren, the real-life Thomas and Erin, the book is designed for children ages 5 and under. Young readers will identify with the children’s relationship with their grandfather, who loves spending time with them and provides a gentle and kind guide to the world around them. The book also features a space for children to draw a picture of their own grandparent.
“The Amazing Adventures of Thomas and Erin with Granddad – The Zoo” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
