AbstractHistoryArchive Description

''Colour my beak blue, that's a risky business if you're not a cockatoo,' squawked Rocky Cocky. 'You'll need a bodyguard.' They trotted and strutted off down the track, round the back of beyong, up the hill and past the black stump, until they bumped into . . . Joanna Goanna.

'Early one morning, Blossom Possum gets such a fright she thinks the sky is falling down! She has to tell someone, so she sets off with her news. On the way she meets her bush mates. But she also runs into trouble.

'This retelling of a favourite folktale has a delightful Aussie twist and a refreshingly positive ending. ' (Publication summary)
