Adorable book of "familiar" nursery rhymes about Australian animals. "Sing a song of bellbirds, a forest full of sound, Little notes of tinkling to the ground, When the new day opens the bells begin to ring, Isn't that a lovely way to wake each living thing." Animals covered: Bellbirds, Wombat, Bowerbird, Frill-necked Lizard, Echidnae, Magpie Geese, Black Snake, Whales, Wallaby, Sea Lions & Sharks, Koala, ending with "Twinkle, Twinkle, Southern Sky" with all the animals sleeping. Clever and sweet. The last 2 pages contain notes about each animal.
