AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This book is a retelling of the story 'The Boy who Cried Wolf' using recognisable Australian animals as the main characters. The authors have strived to make Cocky a cheeky larakin that children can identify with, to add a new level of meaning to this moral tale. This narrative is told in the third person (via a narrator), with the colourful illustrations adding support and also add a playful element that enriches the words.' (Publication summary)
