Benny Bellamacina
We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new children's imprint 'New Puddle Press' - where we make rhyming children's books designed to ignite a love of poetry from an early age.
Our New Book by Benny Bellamacina-Peter The Vegetarian Anteater is the heartwarming story of a young anteater who ‘would rather eat his pants than eat ants’, causing his ant-eating family much distress.
‘“How disgraceful!
Never in the long line
of bushy-tailed anteaters
has a family member refused to eat ANTS!"‘
angrily chirped in Great Cousin
Norman, in one of his regular rants.’
The story continues with Peter running away from home, and the whole family going in search of him... We assure you it has a very happy ending!
It features throughout beautiful illustrations by G.E. Palmer - the pseudonym of a famous artist who wishes to remain nameless. With magnificent and witty detail, the images have an old school charm, and create a rich world of wallpapers, family portraits, scruffy bedrooms, and elegant clothes. A loving family in all its glory.
The familiar tale of a child exploring values unfamiliar to their parents. A very positive story of difference and acceptance. It’s the perfect gift for anyone with a vegetarian in the family, or anyone else.
