Billy That Died with Its Boots on and Other Austra

‘Twas the billy that died with its boots on, a billy you couldn’t replace. It lay on the ground, where it couldn’t be found, ’cause the track was so hard to retrace.’ 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.
