AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The great cold is coming. It's tickling the toes of the animals and chasing the tail feathers of the birds. It's creeping into their hideaway and making even the strongest shiver. Alone, the blind goanna and the flightless magpie are weak, but when they work together the power of their friendship will save the day.' (Source: Fremantle Press website)
