Wendy became nervous when one of the monkeys started squeezing her finger a bit too tightly, but she managed to slip free. The monkey jumped onto Philipa’s head and proceeded to pull her hair out and then bit her finger till it bled.
Bernard watched way too much television when he was growing up, so it’s not surprising that his first proper job was making cartoons. Later he studied acting but couldn’t even get a part in a pizza commerical so he went back to animating for a multimedia company. He has a crazy notion that work can be fun and has been a ride operator at Luna Park, a guide on top of Sydney Tower and a climb leader on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Monkey Come Home
is Bernard’s fourth book and he still can’t decide if he prefers writing the story or illustrating. But the pictures take longer than the words.
