School Program Story by Danielle Freeland At Ipswich RSL today, David Lowe gave a dynamic presentation to 3L from West Moreton Anglican College and Amberley District State School 4/5 DE classes. He dazzled us with his dad jokes, a rhyming quiz and a Treasure hunt. Humour was the order of the day mingled with facts. I learned how to tell how old a whale is. I don’t need to go to a whale-weigh station. I just need to look in his ear to see how much wax is in the whale’s ear. I also learned Dave is a completely brilliant story teller whose books have been translated into Hungarian, French, Brazilian, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek and German. When Dave was young he really, really wanted a pet. He ended up with . . . a little brother. Then, he had two kids to bug his parents for a pet. His parents gave in and they had two pets, Janey and Paddy. Unfortunately, late one night, his Dad left the cage door open and they went on a long holiday. He begged his parents for a pet once again, but all he got was . . . another baby brother. Eventually, after more pleading, his parents gave in and he was given a hamster called Flavour. This little guy was really only good at four things: sleeping, running on the wheel, nibbling on food and poohing. Flavour inspired Dave to write his inspiration for his series Stinky and Jinks featuring Stinky - a genius hamster, who likes carrots. There are six books in the series including: My Hamster’s got Talent, and My Hamster’s a Spy. He has a great website where you can find out more about Stinky and Jinks and his other books such as The Incredible Dadventure.
