Animals in Vehicles kids picture books

The Animals in Vehicles books are fun picture books containing quirky rhymes and colourful illustrations for young readers.

The first book 'Animals in Vehicles’, was created for my then 3-year-old son as a Christmas present. The small print run was so popular with his friends that I had more printed. I’ve now sold 600 copies within New Zealand and as far away as Australia, Holland, Germany, Ireland, the UK and US. I've recently completed a follow-up book for his little brother called 'More Animals in Vehicles', which I plan to give him as a Christmas present this year.

I'm looking to raise funds to help pay for printing costs of the new book, and another print run of the first book. I want to print 250 copies of each. Working part-time and a busy family life make it tricky to save up enough to pay for the printing myself. All of the work spent on both books has been unpaid and done in my own time.

If you can make a donation of $20 or more, I will send you one of the books of your choice, or two books for a $40 donation, and so on. I will sign and include a personalised thank you picture in each pre-order copy. Please email me at jrodeo@gmail.com with your contact details if you would like a book or books.

If there’s any surplus, it will go towards producing or printing more books in the future.
