What do you feel like doing today? Sit beside a bush campfire with Oodgeroo Noonuccal, watch people going by with Henry Lawson, float away with Alison Lester, learn to read with Andy Griffiths or be brave with Shaun Tan. This extensively illustrated volume of poetry brings together old favourites and sure-to-be new favourites in an indispensable addition to children’s bookshelves.

Suitable for ages 4–10 years.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
