11 June, 2008 Set in current times, and grounded in reality, this novel touches on environmental issues, rural life and the bonds of family, with a hint of mystery and a subtle history lesson woven in. 
11 June, 2008 It can be difficult to find a text suitable for teenage boys; trying to blend the idea of the masculine identity with modernity without being condescending or appearing to lecture.

11 June, 2008 Scot Gardner’s first book for younger readers is a nice bit of silliness. John Johnson is the detachable boy in question, with the ability from birth to detach limbs—arms, legs, head—at will, an ability that is in the most part good fun 
11 June, 2008 This is the story of Kevin (the family dog) who adores Brian (the family dad). Unfortunately Brian barely registers Kevin’s existence and even occasionally steps on Kevin’s tail. But Kevin does not give up on Brian. 
11 June, 2008 This book showcases a major artistic talent. The problem is in the narrative. ‘Some people say you need to know where you are going, that when you start you need to know the beginning, the middle and the end,' says the narrator 
11 June, 2008 Repetitive in plot and language, this first picture book from a well-known writer of novels for children encourages the very young reader to anticipate outcomes by following action on almost wordless pages 
11 June, 2008 This great-value book and CD package will delight children from two to eight years, and be snapped up by schools wanting to adapt it for their own musical performances. 
11 June, 2008 What fun readers young and old are going to have with this rhythmic book that is an encouragement to make lots of noise.

1 June, 2008 There are millions of kids in the world who feel like they don’t belong.

1 June, 2008 Victor is a nice young prince, although a bit hapless at the best of times. 
1 June, 2008 John Nicholson’s fourth offering in the ‘Transport, Trade and Travel’ series—Steam, Steel and Speed would make an excellent resource for teachers and students alike, to find out about the Australian ‘industrial revolution’ from the 1850s to the 1920s. 
1 June, 2008 Just 24 (full-sized) pages long but with big, bold illustrations, this book has an arresting cover image of the bear staring grumpily straight into the viewer’s eyes.
