A Bee in Ben's Bonnet

By Ferg Mckinnon About · Illustrated by Kim Gamble About

“Ben lived in a very large house with his very large family. But Ben had a bee in his bonnet. All Ben really wanted was his very large family to celebrate his birthday. So Ben left his room to ask them, one by one. BUT …”
And so begins this delightful new picture book story. Ben feels that his birthday has beenforgotten and that everyone is too busy to give him any attention. Until he gets a surprise at the end! This picture book uses popular cliches or expressions to keep the text moving at a fast and interesting pace. So not only are children being introduced to sayings but they will enjoy the rythmical feel of the book.

Ferg McKinnon, is married to Anne and has two daughters and two grand-daughters. Living near the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, there is always plenty of wonderful outdoorsy things to see and do with his grandkids, such as collecting insects in jars to study, swinging from the branches of the old gum trees and playing basketball. Ferg studied geography, demography, economics, economic statistics, Russian and Russian literature at Monash University in Melbourne as well as a Diploma of Education. He played bass guitar in the 70s rock band ‘Rainbow Theatre’ which produced two albums, ‘The Armada’ and ‘A Fantasy of Horses’. During this time he taught matriculation geography and worked as a freelance journalist and music critic for the Nation Review. He has worked since as a cricket umpire, courier, gardener and cleaner, and for the past fifteen years as an in-depth interviewer in medical, industrial, commercial and consumer market research. He now runs his own garden maintenance business. His first book, A QUESTION OF IDENTITY, published in 1993, was about the search for his natural mother. A BEE IN BEN’S BONNET is his first children’s book and is dedicated to the loss of his grandson.
