The much-loved Australian reimagining of Edward Lear’s nonsense poem “The Owl and the Pussycat,” now in board book published by Walker Books Australia.

They took some damper and tea in a hamper
and bundled it up in the boot.

Congratulations to author Jackie Hosking and illustrator Marjorie Crosby-Fairall!
