1 June, 2008 This fine picture book brought to us by the author of Queenie: One Elephant’s Story tells the story behind one of Australia’s best-loved monuments-the dog on the tucker box that sits just outside Gundagai in New South Wales. 
1 June, 2008 Unfortunately for this book, it was the third YA novel I’d read this year featuring a hyper-intelligent young boy who memorises words from the dictionary but can’t function well socially. 
1 June, 2008 Who doesn’t know Slim Newton’s 1972 song ‘Redback on the Toilet Seat’? It was an instant country hit and surely replays in many minds if ever confronted with a cobwebby outdoor ‘dunny’. 
1 June, 2008 What’s a Fent, you may ask? When one appears in eight-year-old Curly’s bedroom, he isn’t sure either. 
1 June, 2008 In the sturdy tradition of the fractured fairytale comes this re-interpretation of Cinderella as part of the ‘Aussie Gems’ series of value-priced hardcover picture books. 
1 June, 2008 ‘Long ago when my mother was a child, there was an enormous frangipani tree that grew in the town of Flying Fish Point.’ 
1 June, 2008 Pignataro was already an accomplished illustrator of other people’s texts, when she established herself as author/illustrator with Always (mother/child teddies) and Princess and Fairy (pink and detailed and glittery). 
1 June, 2008 This book is fast, exciting and thoroughly entertaining. 
1 June, 2008 Alyana is a headstrong young girl from the Trahern tribe who lives on the fringes of the great Gurcross forest with her widowed father. 
1 June, 2008 There are surprisingly few new ‘horsey’ stories for middle-upper primary school-age children set in Australia, so this first novel from an American-born writer makes a welcome addition to this genre. 
1 June, 2008 The jacket treatment for Mac Slater Coolhunter 1: The Rules of Cool will successfully pull in the 15 year-olds among us, but it will fail the credibility test for those most severe of critics. 
1 June, 2008 What a fascinating book this is! I found myself so engrossed that for two days running I nearly missed my tram stop! 
1 June, 2008 This is an addition to the still-too-small number of Indigenous picture books. 
1 June, 2008 The Taris project is the last hope of a world falling apart. An island sheltered by a dome from the outside world. 
1 June, 2008 These four playful board books for babies and toddlers have plenty of the rhythm and rhyme we have come to love in Alison Lester’s work. 
1 June, 2008 The battle over ‘postmodernism’ and theory has been raging in universities for years. 
1 June, 2008 It’s in Mombasa, Kenya, where Carl Cleves first experiences the state of musical ecstasy known as Tarab. 
1 June, 2008 Bill Condon has built a strong reputation as a prolific writer of YA novels whose work bravely faces uneasy truths. 
1 June, 2008 ‘When Sian can’t sleep, she likes to count sheep. From one to ten, then start again. 
1 June, 2008 Sex Lives of Australian Women is a compulsive read. It contains page after page of information about the sexual lives of thousands of women who participated in an anonymous survey. 
1 June, 2008 The gross factor is well and truly engaged from the opening sentence. 
1 June, 2008 This is an excellent follow-up to Giarratano's debut novel Vodka Doesn’t Freeze. 
1 June, 2008 This second novel from Azhar Abidi, set in the 1980s, tells the story of the relationship between Bilquis Ara Begum, a widow of comfortable means, and her son Samad. 
1 June, 2008 The battle to save Tasmania’s Franklin River from being dammed started off as a small state issue and morphed into a national controversy. |
