Clyde

Clyde's Prickly Ride is the second book in the Capital Adventure picture book series.  It is another collaborative project by Angela Moyle who wrote the story and Ian Coate who has again brought the characters to life with his charming and visually beautiful illustrations.

The book was launched in April 2015 at Harry Hartog in Woden.

About Clyde's Prickly Ride

This delightfully illustrated picture book is about a young echidna called Clyde who isn't very happy about all the crowds who tramp through his habitat every year in spring.

One day he is lured out of his hiding spot and ends up on the adventure ride of his life!  When he views his park from another perspective, he realises why so many love to visit his beautiful flower filled park.

Again, he is rescued by the ever patient and caring ACT Parks & Wildlife Ranger.

The book can be purchased in several popular book and gift stores in Canberra.  It is also available to buy online through Vivid Publishing or through my online shop.

The following clip is a short book preview to give you an idea and a glimpse at some of the stunning illustrations that are in the book.
