Mister Spears’ ear hair grows from today

Mister Spears and his Hairy Ears, the new picture book from bestselling author-illustrator duo Dawn McMillan and Ross Kinnaird, is published today.

This fun story tells of the affable Mister Spears and the problem he faces with his ear hair, which just won’t stop growing – not even if he covers it with band aids or wears a motorcycle helmet!

Then a flash of inspiration brings the answer, one that leads to a rock’n’roll lifestyle for him and his cute cat, Tiger.

Dawn and Ross (and Tiger!) are appearing in Auckland at Whitcoulls Botany today at 11 a.m., and at the Dorothy Butler Children’s Bookshop in Ponsonby at 10.30 a.m. tomorrow.

Dawn will also be at Paper Plus Te Awamutu on 31 October, New Zealand Bookshop Day.

Mister Spears launches on 8 October with bookstore appearances

Mister Spears and his Hairy Ears, the new picture book from Dawn McMillan and Ross Kinnaird, will be published this Thursday 8 October.

Dawn and Ross will be appearing in Auckland at Whitcoulls Botany at 11 am on the 8th, and at the Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop at 10.30 a.m. on Friday 9th.

This fun story meets the kind but sad Mister Spears as he tries to control his rampant ear hair:

I trim and I trim and still the hair grows

way past my knees, down to my toes …

Nothing he tries can stop his ear hair growing – not even wearing a motorcycle helmet! Then a flash of inspiration brings the answer, one that leads to a big change in life for him and his cute cat Tiger.

Take the kids along to Botany and Ponsonby and prepare for fun and laughs with the bestselling authors of I Need a New Bum! and Doctor Grundy's Undies.
