Crikey!
Most Australian kids go to schools in towns and cities, but some live too far away,, out in the bush, to travel to these schools. They go to 'small schools' instead like the one at Yamba Creek.

Free book from Big W. Was an okay read but very blasé.

I enjoy that in the reading of the story the words are printed in different sizes and fonts to add emphasis to the actions. A free book from my local store.

Joe lives on a farm in an isolated rural community. He’s sad because the teacher wants all the children to bring an animal to school to meet Davina Dabchick who’s on the telly but is making a special trip to their school.
He couldn’t take a cow! It had to be better than Patsy’s dog Esmerelda who was a dog show champion. He puttered home on his motorbike when he found a little galah chick that had dropped out of a tree. He took the chick home and called it Crikey. He taught Crikey lots of tricks and was sure Davina Dabchick would award him best animal on the day. But things don’t always go as planned.
Scholastic - Mates - Great Australian Yarns are brilliant reads. Thanks to Big W for giving this book away as part of a promotion. Much better than useless points. Here the point is kids read and learn something too.

This is one of the most Australian-sounding books I've read... I even learned a new word!
I love the layout of the book - they position the text around the images in really creative ways.
