A Tiny Story of Blinky Bill - Hardcover
by Dorothy Wall (Author)
Blinky Bill tells the story of a naughty little koala, Blinky Bill, and his friends Splodge the Kangaroo and Wally the Wombat. Mischievous Blinky Bill creeps out of bed at night and runs into his friends at the edge of the river and tries his hand at fishing. Borrowing the farmer's boat is only the start of the adventure with the three friends. What will Mrs. Koala and Nutsy say when they find Blinky Bill has been getting into more trouble? This Australian classic, as told by Dorothy Wall, has been reprinted with original illustrations and design. This book brings to life the much-loved and well-known Koala who stole the nation's heart.
