The Billy that Died with its Boots On and Other Australian Verse

This collection of rhythmic, rhyming poetry by Stephen Whiteside is coupled with lovely black and white papercut illustrations by newcomer Lauren Merrick.

With galloping rhythm and snappy rhyme, Stephen Whiteside s read-aloud poems portray the Australian outdoors, sporting life and animals, as well as the domestic world of the average Aussie kid - with the odd dinosaur and Martian thrown in for good measure. Includes "The Sash", winner of the Golden Gumleaf (Children s Poem of the Year), Australian Bush Laureate Awards, 2013.

Ages 9+
