‘Are You Ready? Are You Ready? Are You Red, Red, Ready?’

By Dawn Marlow

Sir Redmond, Red to his friends, takes you on a wonderful walk round the Australian fishing village where he lives.

He has many questions to ask you as he stretches, smells, runs, and explores. Do you know what a lighthouse does? Do you catch more fish from a pier or a boat? Have you ever felt lonely?

Enjoy the beautiful photos and dialogue in this delightful childrens book, designed to encourage conversation between children and adults through the imagination and eyes of Red.

I found Red at my local animal welfare centre. As I walked past him, he barked and snarled, so thinking he was just scared, I asked to ‘meet’ him. He licked my hands and shook with fear. I decided to take a chance with him. It took four months before he barked again. He was so traumatised by his whole lost experience. With no name and no history, he is now a placid, very well-behaved, and happy dog. I wrote this book for fun, giving it to my friend’s new grandchildren as they arrived. It was with their encouragement I decided to publish Red, so look out for more adventures in the Redmond series.
