I'm often told that boys don't like reading. Well I don't agree. I've found that boys love reading. But they can be fussy about what they want to read.

When I was a kid my friends and I liked cars. Now that I'm a professional artist I visit infants and primary schools (5 to 12 year-olds) to talk about books and cartooning. And you know what I found out? I learned that nothing's changed. Boys still love cars.

Crazy Cars is my latest book and it's the one I'm most proud of. It's a collection of cars without limits, and it was written mainly for boys.

Full of very detailed cartoony drawings, this book has a car that exercises and feeds your dog, one that guarantees a parking spot (by wiping out the opposition!) and a whole bunch of other much-needed creations. It's the biggest and craziest thing I've ever done.

And the feedback I'm getting is fantastic.

There's 6-year-old George who wants one of my "spider cars" because they're "the coolest". Then there are the ones who really don't hold back, like the boy whose mother described him as 'shouting with laughter' at the book. Or the brother and sister (older than George) in Adelaide who had a fight over the book in the back of their parents' car (this website does not endorse siblings fighting in the back of their parents' car but loves the fact that they were fighting over my book). I've heard plenty of stories from parents saying their son was 'engrossed' or laughing while they read the book. The feedback I'm getting at schools is also the best I've had for any book I've played a part in.
