山姆和一般的小男孩一樣只喜歡玩電腦、看 DVD 、玩 iPod 與 iPhone 。他不喜歡奶奶住的那一片叢林，甚至希望這些都能夠消失。奶奶很喜歡散步，這天她帶著山姆走著，並一一述說叢林帶來的好處，可是山姆還是提不起興趣。直到有一天，山姆發現自己在叢林裡探險，想起奶奶敎他的知識，才能在叢林裡生存。…
Sam’s Bush Journey 讓青少年讀者藉由本書練習學習說故事、了解澳洲叢林的知識、環境與兩代之間的相處。
This cleverly written story, a collaboration between Sally Morgan and Ezekiel Kwaymullina, and illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft, carries a couple of telling messages for young people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike. The concrete jungle and world of digital technology shelters and screens us, young people in particular, from the natural environment. The consequence of our sheltered existence is a lack of appreciation and understanding about the bush, its plants and animals, and for Indigenous Australians a lack of cultural knowledge, and the diminishing of their oral narrative tradition. Sam is one such kid, reliant on the mod-cons to get him by. A visit to his Nanna who lives in the bush is painful for him--too many mosquitoes and spiky bushes. Sick of Sam’s complaints his Nanna schools him with cultural knowledge about bush tucker and survival without Google maps. His negativity causes something strange to happen, transported from his bed one night, Sam awakes to find himself in the bush. Forced to use his newly acquired knowledge, Sam gradually starts to appreciate the inherent value of the natural environment. This is a great book, suitable for lower to middle primary school students.

Ruby and Leonard and the Birthday Surprise
出版公司： Little Hare Books 作者： Judith Rossell 年 6 月出版 ISBN: 9781921272967 (HC) / 9781921541599 (PB) 精 / 平裝 繪本， 24 頁
李奧納多 (Leonard) 想作一個蛋糕送給茹比 (Ruby) ，但要完成這個蛋糕卻需要茹比的幫忙。李奧納多會想到什麼方法讓茹比幫忙做蛋糕，卻又不會發現這個驚喜呢！本書還敎你製作杯子蛋糕喔！
Ruby and Leonard are two adorable mice who live behind a biscuit tin, along with a crowd of brothers and sisters. One day they decide to surprise their siblings by baking something. What will it be? Of course, when you’re a mouse, even the smallest tasks are huge--measuring the butter, cracking the eggs and mixing the ingredients. Then there’s the icing to do, and it all gets rather messy! As the cupcakes take shape, there’s an even bigger surprise waiting--an impromptu birthday party. There are clues about this in the preceding pages, but it’s sometimes a little confusing as to who’s in or out of the secret. Written and illustrated by Judith Rossell (of the 'Inspector Stilton' series), this picture book for young children (aged about four to seven) is extremely cute. Pastel colours against a creamy background create the feeling of an old-fashioned kitchen, complete with floral teacups, checked tablecloths and an ancient Mixmaster. Kids will love seeing the familiar steps of cake-baking interpreted from a teeny-tiny perspective, and will probably want to head straight to the kitchen afterwards. The book prepares for this with a bonus cupcake recipe on the final page.

本書作者 Kilmeny Niland 已出 版超過 30 本書，多年來她專心在插畫工作與繪畫的展覽，其風格從幽默到野生動物寫實繪畫，著作也得過許多獎項。本書是她第一次同時完成故事內容與插圖的書，她在 2009 年 2 月過世， Two Bad Teddies 也成為她最後一本出版作品。
Tilly and Gruffy think they’ve got it made. In Two Tough Teddies they were taken home by Molly-Sue and were much loved. This book is a sequel, and life is not so rosy. There’s a new toy on the block called Bendy Bill, who gets all Molly-Sue’s attention. The two teddies conspire to regain Molly-Sue’s affections, but when disaster strikes they realise that Bendy Bill does have his good points and there is room in the house for them all. I was on the teddies’ side as they are extremely cute and cuddly, as teddies should be, and it was good to see them together again. The text is warm and friendly and conveys the action with humour and immediate child appeal. It’s the illustrations that will be so recognisable and a great addition to Niland’s large body of work. Her soft, delicate watercolours bring these teddies to life. They have almost a tactile presence and remain real teddies, as opposed to the caricatures some illustrators might resort to. The warm patterns, soft colours and eye contact between the characters and the reader make this a very engaging picture book. This is the last book from Kilmeny Niland, she will be sadly missed.
