This is an interesting ABC book full of Australians, some recognisable and some less so that are considered (in one of Australia's most recognised terms) Legends.
Aussie Legends Alphabet
A Beary Busy Storytime
It's School holidays here in Australia but storytime has still been happening at most branches of our library. Yesterday I had the privilege of taking a preschool session and we had so much fun. I had some really lovely books about bears that I wanted to read to the children so that is why I chose this theme.
Living on Hope Street
It was clear in those early words that life for Kane, Sam and Angie was always about living on edge, their days filled with fear and placing invisible barriers around themselves as a means of getting through everyday. I felt my stomach sink and my eyes water as I read those initial perspectives from Kane and Sam, such intensity I have not felt before, the characters minds fueled with sadness and intense fear and mine also.
Lest We Forget
"We stand with out comrades, in salute to the fallen"
I’m Australian Too
In writing this book, Mem Fox called her book a "Rhythmic, loving, friendly Australian book, about all the people who have come here to make Australia the lovely place it is." I believe Mem has achieved this as she has captured the Australian spirit and more.
Platypus
Hurrying. Scurrying. Always moving. Always busy. Always looking for a meal. Platypus is perpetual motion - never still.
