'This warm and funny book is a big-hearted "thank you" to the dads out there who are giving their all -  including all the best puns they know!

'On a scale of 1-to-Dad, mine is off the charts!
He tells bad jokes, and sings old songs,
and blames the dog for all his farts.

Is it just my dad? Or is it other dads too?
Does your dad say this stuff to you?'

'A hilarious and warm-hearted celebration of fatherhood, perfect for dads of all shapes, sizes and species.' (Publication summary)

'At Christmastime all over Australia - from the bush to the 'burbs - Santa arrives on the back of the fire truck! This boisterous picture book celebrates a much-loved Aussie tradition.

'A Christmas tradition, all round this land,
from the city to the country, from the bush to the sand,
in a shiny red truck instead of a sleigh,
Santa sets out on his jolly old way.

But this fire truck has seen better days. It creaks and rattles and groans as Santa makes his rounds.
'It will take a miracle to get through Christmas Eve...

'With beautiful illustrations by Nathaniel Eckstrom, this is an energetic and delightful celebration of a wonderful Aussie tradition.'(Publication summary)
