Bestselling Fergus the Ferry Books Come to America in Kindle, iBooks and Nook

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 27, 2012 - The fabulous Fergus the Ferry™ illustrated children's books, perfect for kids aged 2-6, are finally coming to America.  The long-anticipated debut of the books has been put together between Snowball Press Pty Limited, the publishers, Booknook.biz®, (http://www.booknook.biz) the ebook-formatters and producers, and Inscribe Digital®, the digital distributors.  

The Fergus the Ferry™ series, a cross between Dr. Seuss™ and Thomas the Tank Engine™, features a small ferry named Fergus as he makes his daily rounds on the Inner Harbor of Sydney, Australia.  Each book, 34 pages long, features an adventure for Fergus and his Friends--from Horace and Boris, the much-larger and not-so-nice Ferries  to Fergus' smaller friend, Angus, a young ferry just learning his way around the harbor.  Fergus is piloted by Captain Joe, who isn't always as brave as Fergus.  While Fergus and his friends go about their daily lives, emergencies and other escapades occur that challenge them, and to teach them about courage, doing the right thing, and true friendship.  

In Fergus the Ferry, Fergus learns that Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means overcoming your fear – as Captain Joe does in this book.  In Fergus at the Zoo, Fergus does what's right, even though it isn't easy.  All 24 books offer delightful stories and truly engaging characters, as well as great themes that are loved by parents and kids alike.  

In the NookKids' and iBooks editions, children and parents can choose to read themselves, or to have the audio read to them, replete with sound effects in the background.  In the Kindle edition, pop-up text boxes for the story make the tales easy for youngsters to read.  In any edition, the Fergus tales are stories that your kids are bound to love, and better yet, stories that parents will love to read to them.

Kimberly Hitchens, owner of Booknook.biz®, commented that the Fergus books are so engaging that she and her "grown-up" crew became thoroughly involved in the lives of the Fergus characters, and couldn't wait for each new title, to see what happened next.  The Fergus series is the largest single-series order for fixed-format children's books ever received by Booknook.biz, and they were thrilled to see the books go live on Amazon just this past Thanksgiving day.  A Fergus the Ferry app is freely available, too--you can read more about Fergus at his website:  http://www.fergusferry.com/home.aspx

Just in time for Christmas, the Fergus the Ferry series has arrived on American shores.
