Out Now: The Peter Allerton Children's Book Anthology

 The Peter Allerton Children's Book Anthology is Out Now


All NINE stories in just one volume!


I am pleased to announce that both the 'Smell of Poo' and 'Beastly Bullies' children's story book collections are now available in one big compilation: 'The Peter Allerton Children's Book Anthology'!

***May 4th 2023: ALL STORIES HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO THEIR LATEST EDITIONS FOR THE FINAL TIME***


Available in both ebook (accessible on any device via the Kindle reader app) and paperback, the stories tend to slightly increase in reading level as they go along, all the way from the first to the ninth.

There should be something for everyone to enjoy in this Anthology, including younger and older kids as well as their caregivers and teachers alike.

'The Peter Allerton Anthology' includes the following stories:

All five 'Smell of Poo' stories plus two bonus 'Pooems':




Including...
funny kids' ghost story chapter book
Ghost Poo & the Haunted Toilet


Plus all four 'Beastly Bullies' tales!:


Including...




Every story features a set of 'follow-up questions'. These unique and humorous tales might be a bit revolting at times but they may make you think a little bit as well? Anyway, I do hope you enjoy reading them!

Please click on the link for 'The Peter Allerton Children's Book Anthology':




Also available: 'The Guide to Managing Your Child's Behaviour: The concise, comprehensive manual for the behaviour management of children of all ages.'

20 years in the making, while probably not a book for kids to enjoy reading(!), I believe there'll be plenty in there to help make them a lot happier in the long run..!

Thank you...

After months of editing and re-editing, the Peter Allerton Behaviour Management guide for parents is finally here.

Welcome to this ‘manual’ of parenting hints, tips and strategies on how to help your child with their behaviour and learning at home.

Over 20 years in the making, I’ve been looking for ideas throughout my teaching career, ‘cherry picking’ the most practical and effective ones for this book (in which I try to avoid any jargon or dense theory). Every suggestion is tried and tested – this aims to be a practical guide, not an academic thesis.

Having worked closely with thousands of students and their parents over the years, I sincerely hope you will find at least something useful to assist you in probably the most important and challenging (and definitely worst paid) job in the world!

These positive behaviour strategies can be effective with children of any age, background or temperament.

The 'Beastly Bullies' Children's Story Book Collection is complete!

 The 'Beastly Bullies' Collection is now available!


All 4 'Beastly Bullies' stories in 1!



Now that 'Peter and the Pet Catcher' is finally finished, all four 'Beastly Bullies' stories are now available as a compilation in both ebook and paperback, for just around half the price altogether!

For reading ages 7-13, 47000 words in total, the collection includes the following rather unusual humorous stories:

Each 'Beastly Bullies' story features a set of 'follow-up' questions as well. These tales may be a little bit disgusting at times but they might also make you think a bit too...

I do hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them - thank you for giving them a try!

Peter and the Pet Catcher Children's Story Book is finally here!

 Peter and the Pet Catcher has arrived!


Well, it's been a while since my last release(!) but now the 'Beastly Bullies Collection' is finally complete!


You can now find 'Peter and the Pet Catcher' on Amazon and can read it on any device via the Kindle Reading App, or in the 'Beastly Bullies Collection' or even the Peter Allerton Anthology (both available in paperback too)!


Click here for Peter and the Pet Catcher


Pets have started to go missing (leaving behind only their tails or toes!) from Little Humstrum and Peter is determined to find out why (especially so he can impress Rose from down the road), at least that is until his next door neighbour adopts the pet from hell..!

Find out how Peter copes with a fearful situation that might even involve a little romance in this funny children’s chapter story book for Primary School kids of all ages to enjoy. Parents and teachers may also like reading this humorous story, while it’s suitable for reluctant readers too.

(for ages 7-12: 11500 words)

Here's a excerpt from Chapter 12: 

‘AAARGH!’ they yelled as he threw it away in horror, but it went spinning in the direction of Rose. She tried to duck but was too slow as the hairy bloodied tail bounced off the top of her head, landing on the floor next to Mike.
‘What the hell Peter?’ she wailed as Mike sprinted back off up the road without so much as a word.
‘Am sorry!’ Peter squeaked with embarrassment.
She glared at him angrily then looked down at the object. ‘Oh no, it’s a cat’s tail…’


Also available now are the 'Beastly Bullies' Collection, an Anthology of both the 'Smell of Poo' and 'Beastly Bullies' Collections combined, and once it's ready I will also be publishing 'A Guide to Managing Your Child's Behaviour' (that one's for caregivers rather than kids - unless they want a sneak peek at the manual so they can stay one step ahead!! ;-).

I hope you are all doing ok in these challenging times! Thanks for visiting!


Peter.

Updated versions now out for all 'Smell of Poo' and 'Beastly Bullies' stories!

2nd Edition updates for all Peter Allerton stories (including the Collection paperback) now available at your Amazon book store!


Dear Readers,


I am pleased to say that all Peter Allerton stories released so far have now been updated to 2020 'Second Editions'!

All of my books are now inscribed with '2nd Edition 2020' inside their front covers. Please note, if you don't have a Kindle, you can download this 'Kindle App Reader' to access them on any device. 

There is also a paperback version of 'The Smell of Poo' Collection and the 'Beastly Bullies' Collection will also be available in print very soon. You can find them here or in your own country's Amazon book store:

It's been over 5 years since I released my first eight stories (plus the 'Smell of Poo' Collection) and to be honest I was afraid to read them again until I finally found the time to edit and update each one. Thankfully, now that I've been able to return to writing, I've had the chance to spend the last month 'tweaking' them.

Mainly they have been updated to improve their prose and flow, including the paperback version. I was actually quite pleasantly surprised when reading them - there were a few surprises in there even for me and I wrote them! (my memory must be getting worse)

I probably still won't make time to finally start promoting them, at least not until I've written 'Peter and the Pet Catcher' - something I've been building up to all year (procrastination should be my middle name!).

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish every single one of my readers and visitors here the very best of luck in what has been a turbulent and challenging year for many people around the world.

I hope my books might at least provide a moment's escape for you.

Will be in touch soon about my new story as well as what I hope to be working on next year!


With love,

PA
