The Animal Tea Party

Have you ever wondered what the jungle animals do when the television cameras aren’t recording their every move? They PAR-TAY! However, unlike human parties, the animal party is very organised and polite. No boozy stuff allowed; in fact, they drink tea – but a very special tea. So join us, as we open a rarely seen window onto the jungle once the humans have gone. Meet the king of the jungle like you have never seen him before. A crocodile and an alligator have an in-depth conversation, while a toucan is concerned that her beak is too bright. Learn about what they eat at these posh dos. A pelican makes a guest appearance under the watchful eye of a gorilla. And, oh yes, Mike the mouse squeaks! A host of colourful characters that make you laugh and maybe cry as they pass the night away enjoying the Animal Tea-Party.

Robyn Smythe

Robyn Smythe was born in 1967 in Fife, Scotland and was educated at Madras College Secondary School, where he went from 1979 to 1985. In his younger days, he had visions of joining the police, but fate intervened, and instead he has had two quite contrasting jobs since leaving school: working behind the counter in the Post Office and being a lifeguard at the local pool. He is married with two teenage girls, and his hobbies include watching movies, walking, and swimming. Writing has always been a passion for him. He wrote his first full-length story back in secondary school as an English assignment, but he has never had the time or inclination to pursue it until the whole world went into lockdown with Covid-19.
