Here's your opportunity to hear the author discuss her book with radio interviewer Mary-Lou Stephens.

Fiona Purdon, a journalist with Brisbane's 'Courier Mail' wrote a very positive book review on 'Mrs Echidna's Dilemma', published on Friday 23rd September, 2011.

'Mrs Echidna' went shopping!  Well, to the shopping centres at Morayfield and North Lakes... both on the Northern outskirts of Brisbane.

Mrs Echidna has been to Uni!  Betty sharied her very successful school programs with pre-service teachers studying 'Teaching Reading and Writing' this semester at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Betty visited another school and shared her secrets of writing and editing 'Mrs Echidna's Dilemma' with four classes of Year 3 students.

Betty visited two country schools while on the Granite Belt, presenting programs to students from prep to Year 7.

Betty visited the Granite Belt (the area around Stanthorpe, Queensland) attending the Glen Aplin CWA Quilt Show on August 12-14. 

I want to thank you for coming in and sharing your work with the students at USC. It was exciting, engaging, and a great real life example of literacy in action...and you are funny!

We enjoyed having you at our school as our visiting author (and much more - a creative, amazing 'illustrator' too)

My daughter took Mrs Echidna's Dilemma to her pre school today along with the wonderful puppets made by her grandma [a Christmas present]. Her teacher absolutely loved it and all activities for the day (and tomorrow) were based on Australian wildlife because of it. S was so proud to stand in front of the class and hold all the puppets. You've touched another 25 kids with your beautiful story and artwork. Thank you,

A good children's book entertains, informs, uses interesting words, stimulates the imagination and encourages further reading, discussion and action. `Mrs Echidna's Dilemma` does all these things for the adult and the child. A great book to read and share with the whole family.
