Peka Boo: The Smallest Bird In All The World Eliza Feely (Allen&Unwin)What happens when you are the smallest bird in the world? Life is tough; from having to crack an egg 20 times your size, to trying to get attention, to being teased by the brothers, and having to stay with Kapecki -the oldest wisest bird in the bush - where he eventually learns to make his own mark and get noticed! Big things do come in small parcels! This book is full of fun – fun to read and fun to look at all the delightful illustrations. Filled with really great Australian-isms (words and phrases like: older than Uluru, don't give a twig, doesn't matter a pip and quick sticks, gobdropper and doozey)
Planet Yawn Toni Collette & Emma Magenta (Pan MacMillan)What happens when a naughty little boy called Yawn, from planet Yawn makes too much noise, won't sleep like the others do, won't play with other boys and girls, and all in all is very consuming? This book tells just that story. Partly written in rhythmical verse it can be read on a few levels as it also explores the environment around us that we all share. Unique illustrations also add another dimension to this tale.

It’s up to the pocket dogs to come to the rescue.Another lovely story with unique and delightful illustrations by this super talented team.
Have fun reading and exploring and investigating these great books - read the words and explore the pictures ... its fun!
