The Bush Book Club

Margaret Wild, illustrated by Ben Wood
Omnibus Books (Scholastic Australia)
ISBN: 9781742990149           RRP: $24.99

Australian animal characters each have a favourite reading place, in some way related to their real habitats. One non-reading Bilby though makes mischief and bores easily. When he gets locked into the reading room, he finds a book which may be interesting – The terrifying adventures of Big Brave Bilby – and is surprised where it takes him. Now he is a happy reader of the Bush Book Club as well. The charming illustrations in cartoon-style with sunshiny pastel colours show his new-found joy of reading.
