Paul Jennings was born in Heston near London, and at the age of 6 emigrated to Melbourne, Australia on a boat. He was on the boat for 5 weeks with his family. He attended Bentleigh West Primary School and Caulfield Grammar School.

After graduating from school, he went to Frankston Teachers College (now part of Monash University) and became a teacher. He taught students at Frankston State School, Kangaroo Flat State School, the Turana Youth Training Centre, and the Royal Children's Hospital State School in Mount Eliza. He later went on to study at the Lincoln Institute of Health Science (now part of LaTrobe University) and became a speech pathologist, then worked as a Lecturer in Special Education at Burwood State College (now part of Deakin University). In 1979 he became Senior Lecturer in Language and Literature at Warrnambool Institute of Advanced Education (now part of Deakin University).

In 1985, Jennings' first book of short stories, Unreal! was published, during which he worked as a lecturer and wrote part-time; in 1989, he made the decision to devote his full time to writing. Many of his short stories, published between 1985 and 1991, were also adapted into the first and second series of the popular Australian television show Round the Twist.

Winner of the Dromkeen Medal (2000).

Reviews

[Emilie Fletcher · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this for the nostalgia hit

[Nipun Fernando · Rating 5 out of 5]

Growing up, one of my favourite authors was Paul Jennings. And he still is. His stories are enjoyed by readers young and old, including those who grew up reading his works.
The reason why I read this book was because it was one Paul Jennings series that I hadn’t read. The Singenpoo series tells the story of a cat that can read and write. And in typical Paul Jennings manner, the series is enjoyable in every way.

You're never too old for Paul Jennings! A nice light read over the summer holidays - one I didn't quite manage to read in my younger days.
