Destructor-Bros

Two brothers. One digger. No supervision.

Cam and Albie only wanted ice cream. What they ended up with was a demolition business — and a hole in the garden big enough to lose a prisoner in.

Two Destructor-Bros picture books standing side by side: Dig a Hole, and All the Ice Cream in the World.

    All the Ice Cream in the World

    Cam and Albie want all the ice cream in the world. Ice cream costs money. Money means a business — so they start by selling Dad's socks. It does not go well. It goes, in fact, straight through Mum and Dad's bedroom.

    “You two could destroy anything,” says Dad.

    And that is how Destructor-Bros begins.

  2. Patrick and Ginju · Book 1 · coming soon

    Patrick and Ginju and the Sand Witch

    Patrick is a penguin. Ginju is a cat. They are best friends, they live in Dubai, and they would very much like to go on a desert safari.

    The trouble is that cats and penguins do not have pockets, so neither of them has any money. Patrick's solution: he will be the safari.

    It ends with a witch, a stolen wand, and one almighty sneeze.

Meet the Destructor-Bros

Cam

Has the ideas. Rarely has the risk assessment. If a problem can be solved with a bigger machine, Cam has already ordered the bigger machine.

Albie

Says yes to everything Cam suggests, slightly faster than is wise. Unmatched at digging. Entirely unbothered by consequences.

Available for demolition, excavation, and the occasional accidental arrest of an escaped prisoner.
