'If an eggplant really grew eggs,
chickens would be out of a job.

If a catfish was really made of cats, 
then it might get chased by a dog.

And a banana is a banana.
That’s what it’s called,
I don’t know why.

Join the band for some fun with words and rhymes in this laugh-out-loud picture book based on the award-winning song ‘A Banana is a Banana’.'

1 y separately published work icon Nancy Wake - The Girl Who Spied Madison Lu (presenter), Justine Clarke (presenter), Canberra : ABC Radio National , 2018 16905155 2018 podcast biography children's

'What does every good spy parachuting into enemy territory need to evade capture? A handgun, a nightie, lipstick and a satin cushion of course!

That’s what secret agent Nancy Wake had in her back pack when she jumped out of a plane during the Second World War to fight the enemy.

They nicknamed her the “white mouse’’ because she was so hard to catch. Nancy helped many people escape the Nazi’s evil clutches and cheated death on more than one occasion.

Narrated by singer, actor and producer Justine Clarke.'
