Aunt Concertina & Her Niece Evalina is a wondrous book - a feast of words by well-known poet Paula Green accompanied by a visual feast of stunning paintings.
Aunt Concertina is an avid junk shop shopper who takes her unwilling niece along with her and, to Evalina's great delight, they find a magic kite which takes them on adventures throughout the world. They go to Mt Everest, the Nile, a volcano, Greenland, the Sahara, Venezeula, Tokyo, the Amazon and finally back home to their own special place. It's a whirlwind of exploration. Every page is jam-packed with delight - there is so much to find in every exquisitely detailed illustration and the language is rich in the kind of detail that children will love.

Paperback
Author: Words & music by Craig Smith Illustrated by Katz Cowley

This is a paperback book and CD set of the award-winning song The Wonky Donkey with hilarious illustrations that will have you laughing out loud!
In the very funny, cumulative song, each page tells us something new about the donkey until we end up with a "spunky, hanky-panky cranky stinky dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey".
There is much fun to be had by listening to the song and trying to predict the new word for each clue given.
Craig Smith's song, The Wonky Donkey, won an APRA Silver Scroll Award in 2008 for Best Children's Song of the Year.
