Pirate the Barking Kookaburra
A thunderstorm had just passed over the little farm house. You could still hear a faint thunder, rolling up the valley of Tantaraboo. The rain had dumped lots of water onto the backyard with its tiny vegetable patch and dozens of flower pots. The vegetables and the flowers weighed down by heavy water drops looked sad, as if they were crying. But soon they would suck in the water, stand up straight again and look more beautiful than ever before.

I think it is a very sweet book, with a nice moral, and identifiable characters. I’m sure my daughter will enjoy the sweet and colourful characters in a couple of years.
