Jeremy Strong

At the age of 3, Jeremy Strong fell out of a first-floor bedroom window- his mother says he has never been the same since! His ambition is to make you laugh- or at least snuffle.

My family first encountered Jeremy Strong stories on the way back from Auckland when my mum put the newly bought ' The Return of the Hundred Mile-An-Hour Dog' on, of which we giggled away to all the way home. Since then we have done many prose readings at school from this book, we have read the others in the series; 'The Hundred Mile-An-Hour dog' and ' WANTED! The Hundred Mile-An-Hour Dog.'
We have also read other funny books (including my favourite Beware! killer tomatoes!)


Jeremy Strong uses slap-stick humor meant for a younger audience.
One of our favourite parts in ' The return of the Hundred Mile-An-Hour Dog' is: 'the trouble is, you're looking at streaker the wrong way. You were telling me earlier that Melinda B-O is a bit snooty, but you also said that she was beautiful. So she has a beautiful outside but an ugly inside. Apperearnces can be deceptive. Maybe some things can look ugly from the outside but be beautiful on the inside.
So when the judges at the dog show come along and start examining streaker, what do i do - turn her inside out? Get all her guts out and spread them around and say: "Look! Isn"t it pretty! Sorry about all the blood everywhere, but she has such pretty kidneys!"'
