Seven Little Australians (Children's Book Classic)
"Seven Little Australians" tells the story of the adventures of seven mischievous Woolcot children, their stern father, and flighty stepmother Esther, living in Sydney in the 1880s. Mr. Woolcot is an army Captain who has little understanding of his children, and their 20-year-old stepmother Esther can exert little discipline on them as they wreak havoc wherever possible. After a children's prank, when they embarrass Captain Woolcot at his military barracks, he orders that ringleader Judy be sent away to boarding school in the Blue Mountains and tries to be even more strict, but children always find the way to the next adventure.
I Can Jump Puddles: Australian Children's Classics
It amazed me that they would imagine I would never walk again. I knew what I was going to do. I was going to break in wild horses and yell 'Ho! Ho!' and wave my hat in the air, and I was going to write a book like The Coral Island. Every so often, there comes a story so brilliant and lively and moving that it cannot be left in the past. Rediscover the magic of our country's most memorable children's books in the Penguin Australia Children's Classics series of stories too precious to leave behind.
Wombat Stew
In this classic Australian picture book, a dingo catches a wombat and wants to cook him in a stew. But all the other bush animals have a plan to save their friend. They trick the dingo into using mud, feathers, flies, bugs and gumnuts in his wombat stew, and the result is a stew the dingo will never forget!
Fipa's World
The book tells a story about a young boy who meets and makes friends with a frog in Australia. Not just any frog but a protected species, yellow spotted bell frog. There's a certain magic that occurs when the boy Tristan saves the frog. A new adventure starts with many fun times, shared experiences and a wonderful new friendship. It doesn't stop though once you have read this book because there are 5 more characters you will get to meet and more adventures to share.
Blueback: Australian Children's Classics
The final volume in the iconic Penguin Australian Children's Classics series, Blueback is a deceptively simple allegory about a boy who matures through fortitude, and finds wisdom by living in harmony with all forms of life. A beautiful distillation of Winton's art and concerns.
