About the Author

Since the debut of his best-seller The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive has become an international publishing sensation. A former Australian paratrooper, BTG left the army to pursue creative misadventures. Between qualifying as a cosmonaut for the Russian space program and writing books, BTG seeks out wildlife and wild places. When he's not being bitten by penguins, bats, and monkeys, or slapped in the face by sea turtles, BTG spends most of his time in a tiny Tasmanian hamlet with his three Great Danes. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

More About the Author

Since the debut of his international best-seller The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive has become an international publishing sensation. A former Australian paratrooper, BTG left the army to pursue more creative misadventures. He has been bitten by wild monkeys and rabid bats and was accepted into the Russian cosmonaut program--though those incidents hopefully were unrelated. He spends most of his time in a tiny Tasmanian hamlet with his three very large dogs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute little book - makes me laugh, June 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Blue Day Book (Hardcover)

This is a cute little book with some great photos. Although some of the text is just a little too cliche for my taste, it does make me laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars A smile on every page - just what I needed!, December 27, 2000

This review is from: The Blue Day Book (Hardcover)

If you're bored or sad or feeling lonely or just down, this is the perfect fix. With a cute animal photo and a brief sentence on every page, this book helps you see that everyone has bad days and that tomorrow promises wonderful new things. The black and white pictures are works of art and the captions match them perfectly. This book made me smile and laugh and cry. I received it as a gift from a good friend and I want to run out and buy copies for everyone I know who has ever felt down and out! A great gift idea!

This review is from: The Blue Day Book (Hardcover)

What an adoreable, sweet, uplifting, simple little book!!! Shopping for the holidays and feeling a little bit down, it was fate that caused me to notice this book at the book store and pick it up. Well, after scanning through this gem of a book, my "blue day" was gone and I again had a spring in my step and a smile on my face!!
Oh yes, this book seems simple with short cliches placed to just the perfect pictures. That's what the beauty of this book is.
This book is a must for every coffee table. You never know when someone visiting your home needs a little lift but just doesn't want to talk to anyone about it. Life is about sharing smiles and this cute little book will definitely help you do that. :-)
