MY REVIEW
Oliver Doliver’s Dinosaur Comes to Stay, is a beautiful story about Oliver Doliver, who is six years old and has a friend who is a dinosaur called Aya Buddn. Most children have a dog or a cat, but Oliver has a dinosaur who came through his bedroom door and came to stay. Absolutely a must read must buy for Young children, plus there is going to be more adventures books that will be published. A fantastic series to be able to follow through them all. I loved how Papa Perkins has written and illustrated his book all himself ”

Author Information
Mark Perkins was born in 1951and spent his career in art.
He is married and lives in Poole with his wife, Avril. They have 3 children and 7 grand-children.
He and Avril bred Burmilla cats for 20 years and they still have 6 for company, along with two miniature dachshunds, two snakes, bantams and a few rather lovely pond fish.
Following schooling near Poole and in Wimborne Minster in Dorset, he attended Bournemouth College of Art for four years and followed this by gaining a teaching certificate from Bretton Hall College in Yorkshire where he met Avril.
Returning to Dorset, Mark took up a post in an advertising studio in Bournemouth and remained there as creative director until 1991 at which time he found teaching art more rewarding and began teaching art to students from ages 12-18.
As well as being a teacher he was elected to full membership of the CSD Chartered Society of Designers in 1983 after 10 years in professional practice.
He produced designs for advertising, print and all forms of graphic communication. He specialized latterly in the design and production of large exhibition stands for national and international clients.
Ill-health forced Mark into retirement in 2000, which gave him the chance of pursuing his own interest in drawing and painting for his pleasure; much of which was contained in many sketchbooks, avoiding the necessity of explaining his thoughts to others in a public arena.
Throughout the past few years he has moved from abstract concepts into the more satisfying world of the printed book for children. His printed works include Alphabetcats, A Nature Diary, several volumes of the work of Lesley Anne Ivory and latterly ‘Words, Works & Worlds’ – a compendium of pages from his sketchbooks.
However of all of these, it is writing for children which inspires him most, and even now as he considers the thought of being 70, he reckons it’s not too late to discover what he perhaps should have begun 20 years ago.
He shows some of his later work on his website; http://blueskiesartwork.co.uk

Thanks so much for the review.
Aya Buddn certainly stays and ha the name since my grandson, Oliver, started putting words together at a young age and this was one of his favourites. I think another will become the name of a future dinosaur friend in a future title. It is a friendship which will endure.
