Cheeky dogs, slippery snakes, and crocodiles with big smiles are only a few of the friends met along the way in this collection of lively illustrated poems. Providing rare insight into the rich textures of contemporary Australian indigenous life, this traditionally styled poetry provides a variety of lessons for children of all backgrounds. Told with a rhythmic and jaunty beat and designed for performance, the compilation is easily read and filled with warmth and respect.
