08.01.2022 My fourth book 'Mudpoo and the Secret of the Rainforest' is now a musical production! It had it's 'world premiere' performance last night at the amazing Talgarno Primary School.

With many rehearsals done on Zoom during lock down and with everyone finally getting together for rehearsals in term 4, it was a truly extraordinary effort. A wonderful time was had by everyone!

06.01.2022 If you'd like your kids to read fun books written by someone who worked in science for 30 years before becoming a teacher and an author, you're in the right place. Learning is what Mudpoo books are all about. Written by Captain Pete (aka Peter Klein...yes that's me!) the books have all kinds of interesting, fun and true facts about Australian animals and the Australian landscape. I worked as a scientist for many years before becoming a teacher and author. This means t...here's lots of scientific info in the books for kids to learn about, all while following the escapades of Mudpoo and Harry (characters loosely based on both my own sons). My most recent book is Mudpoo and the Secret of the Rainforest It's the fourth book in the Mudpoo series. The first three books are: The True Adventures of Mudpoo Mudpoo and the Magic Tree Stump Mudpoo & the Fungus Mystery There's also a CD, On the Road with Captain Pete, which includes songs, poems and an audio for book 1. #kidsbooks #learning #mudpoo #savetheenvironment #learntoread See more
