The last shuttle launch

As those of you that keep up with my adventures will know I've been on the space shuttle - Harold in Space -www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk (if you are not familiar you best get hold of the book pretty quickly before I spoil the whole story for you - I don't like it when Charlie tells me the ending of stories before I've had a chance to read to the end;just because he's a smarty pants and can read faster than me!)
Anyway me and Charlie heard on the telly last night that the shuttle has taken off for the last time. I guess that means I'll be the first and the last platypus in space! Charlie is more than a bit miffed as he has been listening to me telling everyone how great it was to be in the shuttle and Steve has kept saying that maybe if Charlie is very lucky there might be another chance. Oh well, I guess we will just have to find another exciting adventure that we can do together.
Off to think up something really cool that me and Charlie can do, to take his mind off the shuttle!

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 ....
