Eddie Albert and the Amazing Animal Gang: The Amsterdam Adventure

Product Information

I was actually quite shy, but when I was about nine, I acted in a school play. They erected a tepee on stage. I stood up in it and the whole thing collapsed around me! I vividly remember the audience laughing and I realised then that it was easy to be funny! So instead of crawling out of the tent. I did the whole thing inside it, moving around the stage! Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - Kent is the couple’s permanent home, although they have their own separate flats in London for when they are working. It did flash in my mind to do a tour – which I would not do in a million years as I haven’t toured for so long – of Lily for Prime Minister. The trio embark on a comic crime-fighting adventure across the city, with Eddie’s chatty creatures in tow. Will their race against time pay off as they try to stop evil villainess Vera Van Loon from doing something truly awful to an orangutan? Gulp!

The Amsterdam Adventure by Paul O’Grady, Sue Hellard The Amsterdam Adventure by Paul O’Grady, Sue Hellard

Orangutans have an arm span of just over 2m. Their long arms and hook-shaped hands and feet make them great climbers! Now he has written his first children’s book, Eddie Albert And The Amazing Animal Gang, centring on a shy 10-year-old boy who can talk to animals, rather like a miniature Doctor Dolittle, and embarks on an adventure in Amsterdam with his dog Butch. Yet there’s a touch of nostalgia for his drag days, the era in which he made his name in the ’80s. Lily – his alter ego – would be too old to make a return now, he reflects. The book sounds amazing I wish I could get it and it sound as if you have a great life you must know and I must admit I haven't even heard of this author but he sounds great.keep writing!

O’Grady has been commissioned to write another two books in the children’s series, but scoffs at the notion that he might be a latter-day Enid Blyton. I do sympathise with teenage boys and girls in this day and age. We didn’t have the pressure of social media. We didn’t have the pressure of the body beautiful or the fabulous teeth.

Paul O’Grady has come a long way since his drag queen days as foul-mouthed, acid-tongued blonde bombshell Lily Savage. I learned to play the ukulele online. I’m not very good, though. I also made loads of chutney because we had so much fruit on our trees. And I’ve always really wanted a tree swing, so we finally installed one. I love having half an hour to myself having a little swing! International Col 1 Cambridge International Caribbean International Early Years Collins Big Cat for International Schools International Resources Webinars Catalogues Big Cat Writing Competition Winners 2023 I loved this book and it is now my new favourite book. I loved the plot and how there were many cliff hangers and some very funny parts. My favourite characters are Dan and Jake because they are very funny.

My favourite chapter was at Vera’s party because of the people that were there and the description of the paintings. My favourite part is when Eddie meets a parrot and the parrot rips the hair off a mean woman called Vera. It was so funny. All of the bits with him talking to the animals are funny and I think it would be cool to be able to have a chat with animals.... Read Full Review Once I got to feed a baby vulture called PJ. If he felt threatened, I’d have to lie on him as his mother would and spread my arms out. He was a sweetheart. I met a baby elephant in India who would try and sit on my knee. He used to break my heart and break my leg at the same time! And I’ve bottle-fed baby cheetahs. To have 12 cheetahs on top of you fast asleep isn’t something that happens every day!

But when the scruffy ten-year-old is sent to Amsterdam to stay with his eccentric Aunt Budge, he discovers she shares his gift too! She helps Eddie come out of his shell and he soon befriends Flo, the girl next door. I see so much animal cruelty and I think the only way to improve the situation is with education. I wanted to get across the feeling that animals are to be respected and that we have to do everything we can to look after them. I love animals and have watched some of Paul O'Grady's programmes so I was excited when I saw this book by him. It's a great story about a boy called Eddie who can talk to animals. He has a dog who he can talk to and along with his other pets, they get into an adventure which is funny and gripping at the same time. There is a villain in the book who Eddie and his Aunt have to defeat and it's great that there are plenty of laughs as well as a brilliant storyline. I really wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next and couldn't put the book down! You will love this book if you love animals and enjoy a good adventure story, along with comedy....
