PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Bob the Railway Dog … is a great way of showing children that our history abounds with amazing stories that can stir the heart and engage the mind. * Sydney Morning Herald * This delightful story of Bob will melt the hearts of the readers and McLean’s wonderful illustrations add to the development of the tale. His watercolour, charcoal and black pen illustrations bring the last part of the nineteenth century to life, as we see the sparse landscapes of the mid north of South Australia, the growing wealth of the cities, the detail of the stations now closed, the finely observed porters’ rooms, and the steam trains chugging through the saltbush. Text and illustration create a beautiful picture book evocative of times past, but extolling the virtues of independence and loyalty. * Read Plus * Bob the Railway Dog shares a heartwarming story from Australia’s history with young readers, adding an element of adventure and excitement to the development of the rail network through the outback. * Kids' Book Review *
