Added 'Seven Little Australians' by Ethel Turner — 33 weeks ago

Seven Little Australians is a charming Australian children’s classic that is just as appealing to adults as it is to children. It is refreshing to read a book that doesn’t moralise the way many children’s books of the era did. This is an entertaining and uniquely Australian story, with a highly unexpected ending, and it deserves a place in everyone’s reading list.

Added 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' by J.K. Rowling — 39 weeks ago

This a charming little book that will be loved by child and adult alike. Like all fairy-tales, these stories all have a moral to the story but the morals are aimed at the unique challenges faced by wizards as opposed to us Muggles. I especially like Dumbledore’s notes on each tale where we learn the history and other interesting titbits about the story or its author. My favourite story in this volume is The Wizard and the Hopping Pot. This tale about helping people and not being selfish will have your kids in fits of laughter. The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a definite must-read, even if you aren’t a Potter fan.

Added 'Blossom Possum' by Gina Newton & Kilmeny Niland — 1 year ago

Storm, age 4: I like By-Jingo Dingo and Blossom Possum.

Yasmine, age 5: I like Echo Gecko and Abacus Platypus, but I don’t like Joanna Goanna who has a wobbly bit under her chin.

Annelise, age 7: My favourites are Blossom Possum, Echo Gecko and I-Seen-You- Emu.

Mum: I’d never heard of Blossom Possum until my daughter’s class gave a very entertaining performance, but I’m glad that I now own a copy. This is a wonderful Australian adaptation of the Chicken Little story. The kids love chiming in with each animal’s name and looking at the beautiful illustrations. This is one of the few books that don’t elicit a sigh from poor old mum when the kids ask her to read it “just one more time”.
