Abenteuer

This book was inspired by my six-year-old son Alexander. He likes the stories very much and thinks that other children will too. As a result, I decided to write this book so that it could be enjoyed by children around the world. Information about the wildlife is factual, and the stories are based on the Author's experiences growing up as a boy in Guyana in the nineteen fifties. A lot of the wildlife in the book are becoming extinct, and I encourage children to talk to their parents and do whatever they can to preserve our environment for future generations. This book is both entertaining and educational, and I hope that your children enjoy it as much as Alexander!

This book tells the story of their first journey to Waiheke on the car ferry, the sights they see along the way and Jock's misadventure when his curiosity about Waiheke's sea life gets the better of him!
