The renowned children’s author, Andy Griffiths, has had a very busy few weeks following a successful Australian tour for the release of his new book, “You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast”…

Andy Griffiths has released a myriad of comical children’s books, with his first being “Swinging on the Clothes Line” in 1993.

His iconic (and sometimes vulgar!) comedy books, such as the ‘Bum Trilogy‘, and ‘Just!‘ Series are favourites for children and tweens in Australia. Also, not to be forgotten, the iconic ‘Treehouse‘ Series, which he poetically concluded with its 13th edition, reaching 169 stories in total after releasing the original 13-storey Treehouse more than a decade ago.

More recently, Griffiths took on a successful tour across Australia to celebrate his new book “You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast”. He wrapped up his national tour at the iconic Sydney Opera House over the weekend, after taking part in Indigenous Literacy Day.
