Shortly before taking off for our crazy Australian holiday when a then-four-month old, I had the idea that a few picture books would be the best type of souvenir to buy Madeline. Even though she won't remember ever being to Australia, she'd have these stories to read at bedtime that mom and dad thought she'd like. Chris and I had a lot of fun in the bookstores, and ended up bring home:
- Possum Magic by Mem Fox
- Diary of a Wombat by Jackie French
- Kangaroo Played his Digeridoo by Nigel Gray
Thank you to Claire of Loobylu for recommending Possum Magic and the website for the Children's Book Council of Australia.
