Congrats to SCBWI members Jackie Hosking and Marjorie Crosby-Fairall for being shortlisted for the Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Awards 2015 for their book The Croc and the Platypus.
The Croc and the Platypus
Published by Walker Books Australia in hardback (and soon to be reprinted in paperback).
An Australian reimagining of Edward Lear's nonsense poem The Owl and the Pussycat.
The Croc and the Platypus trundled off in a rusty old Holden ute. They took some damper and tea in a hamper and bundled it up in the boot.
"This picture book is highly recommended for young children both for its appealing verse and the excellence of the illustration and design.” — Lyn Linning, Magpies
Well done Jackie and Marjorie!
