The ABC Bunyip series of Australian kids picture books by Kathy Littlemore.
Multi Layered and Multi Fasceted
Like peeling an onion, the ABC Bunyip books have many layers, but none of the tears. They are written to a brand new recipe called “EMPOWER” with all the sparkle of diamonds.
EMPOWER
E for our precious environment because it matters.
M for mates which is Aussie for friends.
P for previously read for familiarity and confidence.
O for something Ozzie/Aussie to introduce Aussie culture.
W for waggish, naughty behaviour.
E for emotions because we all feel them.
R for repetition because it is fun.
Blend this unique book formula with a splash of humour and good old fashioned fun and watch the magic happen as readers fast track their dream lives.
Australia’s favourite monster, ABC Bunyip knows just how special “home” is.
He shares his story about how he nearly lost his home and how anxious and worried he was when he thought he might have to live somewhere else.
He has made it his mission to empower kids lives by giving you the keys to Aussie culture, so you can feel “at home” once more and get on with living an amazing Aussie life.
Master Storytelling Solves Puzzles
Are you puzzled and just a tiny bit anxious about Aussie Life and Culture?
All parents and grandparents want to raise happy, confident kids who are well balanced and successful. And that gets a whole heap more challenging if you have moved house in search of a bright new shiny life … whether from around the corner or across the globe.
SO … What if there was a way to quickly find the lay of the land?
Imagine your whole family gathered around an Australian kids picture book that has you all reading, laughing, learning and feeling good about life. Reading together is such a simple and enjoyable way to empower your kids.
The ABC Bunyip Book Series Breaks All The Rules!
Along with storylines that are most fun for 6 year olds, the ABC Bunyip books have big words, big concepts and amazing detailed illustrations to inform and entertain their grandparents too. Stretch the boundaries and warm to Aussie culture.
Whether you have just arrived in Australia or your family has been here for generations, you deserve to feel “at home”.
