Illustrated by Graham Higgins
A spin-off from the TV programme. When I read this to Y4, I really worked on my Gullagaloona 'Strine' - that's what it does to you. You need to follow the action carefully and read slowly since things happen very fast and the pages are densely packed. Some of the puns are a bit obscure for younger readers. Having said that, it's hilariously funny with some excruciating jokes that had me winjin' and groanin'. As a television related book it works well but without the visual support I'm not sure it will stand lone.
