AN AWARD WINNING HILARIOUS CHILDREN’S ADVENTURE WITH A “COOL FACTOR THAT’S OFF THE SCALE!” Sir Sydney Dinkum is a story “WORTH CHEERING FOR” which is filled with “LAUGHTER & ADVENTURE.” The page turning tale features “masterful” and “brilliant” full color illustrations. “People of every age can appreciate the fun and charming adventures of Sydney and that folks, is guaranteed!”
Sydney is a rascally koala bear from the Outback of Australia. Like Dr. Doolittle he has the super power of being able to talk to any and all animals, including humans! And just like Don Quixote, he has an impossible dream to right the wrongs of the world! He leaves his whacky treehouse and sets off to bring hope and chaos to the world. His high-spirited hijinks cause as much trouble as good, but that's what makes him so much fun!

Read an Excerpt
A noise from overhead stopped Sancho in his tracks. At first he thought it might just be his imagination, but as he took another step a voice called out, "Please don't leave us!" He scanned the surrounding trees but he couldn't see a thing. He'd never heard of talking trees, but on such a strange day as this he assumed anything was possible.
Just then Sydney returned. "Come on, Sancho! We haven't got all day!"
“But, Sydney!" cried Sancho, "I think these trees are talking to me!"
Sydney stared up into the thick blanket of leaves. "Hello," he called. "Is anyone up there or has my friend lost his marbles?"
To both their amazement, a small boy dropped out of a nearby tree and landed just a few steps from where they stood. "Hello," said the boy. "My name's Chip Horn."
"I see," said Sydney, "and do you live all alone up there in that tree?"
Chip giggled. "Oh no," he said, "my mother and father are up there as well. But they're too scared to climb down. I told them the crocodile was gone, but now they're not so sure about you."
” If you like the Shrek stories and movies, you will enjoy Sir Sydney since it has the same style of wit and humor. …” – Nazmul Hosseine, Kids Read In’t
”… offers the same level of humor that kids love without any of the violence or questionable taste that Kung Fu Panda and others feature…very clever... ” –Nicole Tuhin, PBC (Parents Book Cl
