Darryl ... an explanation.

Darryl is a ficticious CHARACTER for children to discover. Authors use small details to make their characters 'real' and there are plenty of details about Darryl.  The idea is that children could create the text for the 'About Me' page of Darryl's website using the information given in the other pages and the information given by letting the mouse rest over the illustrations.

The idea for this character came from a series of letters from a little boy called Norman who fell out with his parents and went to live in a tree house. ( These were published a few years ago by Scholastic ). Darryl came to mend the family fridge / cooler / freezer / ice-box and left a note for Norman tied to the tree house rope that said something like ....

'Keep it up kid. I lived in a tree house too when I was young. I can't remember why .... You've got my full support.'

There will be more characters like Darryl at a future date.

If you would like your children to have a Darryl worksheet on which to make 'notes' ... click here.
