More ways to annoy Wizz
Wizz HATES it when you read Lee’ s books – but that’ s part of the fun! Enjoy these extra ways to drive Wizz up the wall.
1. Read along with Andy Lee. Audio versions of the Do NOT Open These Books series, read by Lee, are available for free wherever you get your podcasts.“ Do NOT download it, do NOT listen to it and definitely do NOT enjoy it,” says Lee.
2. Watch out for new formats.“ I’ m really looking forward to one day bringing the character into other realms, not just the books, whether it’ s on the stage or on the screen,” Lee says.“ That’ s been a goal of mine that we’ re going to sink our teeth into more in the coming years.”
3. Expect book nine in September.“ When we meet with Heath [ McKenzie, the illustrator ] to go through the drawings, it’ s always heaps of fun because generally I say to Heath,‘ No, I want Wizz looking like this’ and I do weird facial expressions – and he’ s that good that he can just quickly draw it in the moment.”
