Collins, Prg: - With four children under five years old living on a small farm near Melbourne, Australia, Peter respected the need for their careful education and sensible discipline and decided, rather than remember the stories he'd told them the night before, that he would put his stories down in writing. Twenty years later, his stories have now been incorporated into two series of 'Life Lessons for Kids, ' one based on farm animals, the other on wild animals, and they are still being told by parents and families in the nearby farming community, at local schools and beyond.
