Firework night

Hello!
Me and Charlie have always loved firework night. The big bangs and lovely bright colours, coool!
The rockets remind me of the time I went into space in Harold in Space - super exciting.
But this year we felt a little bit different about our firework night.
Before we due to go to the firework display, someone set off a firework in the street.
Jessie, our dog, ran towards the front door and started to bark.
Another one went off and she ran to the back door and started to bark.
We asked Mandy why she was doing that and she said that Jessie didn't understand the fireworks.
Mandy also explained that there are a lot of pets that are very frightened by fireworks.
Me and Charlie hadn't thought about that.....
Later on we went to a really cool firework display in a field.
Me and Charlie checked to make sure that we were right away from all the houses.
"Phew" said Charlie, "these lovely fireworks won't be frightening any pets, we are miles away".
After the firework display we went home and played in the garden with sparklers. Jessie sat inside watching, wagging her tail.
When we came in we had a nice big mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows on the top - yum!
All we needed then was a cheese and pickle sandwich (my favourite).....

I've been launched!

Hello there - I'm feeling especially excited today. The book of my latest adventure is available from today!
I don't want to spoil the story for you, but I have to say, it's my most adventurous adventure yet! (Bigger than Harold on Safari AND Harold and the Mermaid). It could even be bigger than when me and Charlie saved Christmas (Harold Saves Christmas) - but I wouldn't want to upset my great friend Santa! Well it's called Harold in Space. So I'm not giving anything away by saying its about me in space, and I got to drive the space shuttle - oops I got a bit excited than and told you the plot. Well you mustn't tell anyone - well except all your friends!
The pictures are great, a new budding illustrator named Jessica was kind enough to do this book for me!
I think you'll agree that I look great - the bestest astronaut ever (even if I do say so!)
I'm sure you'll enjoy reading all about it and find it as exciting as I did. You don't even need to leave home to get hold of a copy of the new story, you can order it from the website. I know you all know it, but just in case you're a first timer its www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk. Just drop me an e mail if your a platty lover outside the UK and we can sort out postage individually. Well obviously not me, but one of my support team would be thrilled to help you!
Got to go ....
