'Lazy Bottersnikes in outback rubbish tips, Sir Pronoun's dilemma about standing in Miss Noun's place and the story of how Jack built a house, a hut or a shack are all to be found in this treasury of Australian children's books.
Exploring everything from schooldays to fantasy worlds, from its 19th century beginnings to the 21st century, this book is remarkable for its breadth of coverage, encouraging new ways of seeing the Australian child's literary history.' Source: www.panmacmillan.com.au/ (Sighted 06/10/09)
