Beautiful-illustrated, Educational Fun Verse

Brucie the Bilby is a feisty, eloquent Champion of Native Mammal Rights.
To put their case to YOU-Mans ,
he translates verse from their native tongues into English.
They don’t mince their words, neither.
Ferals Beware !
Net-Surfin’ Natives are on the Warpath !
This is a very special little book.
It’s highly educational, so it deserves a look-in here.
12 Native Animals each write a verse
about its habits and survival problems.
Here is an example by one of the best-known of all:
Koala
(phascolarctos cinereus)
“Koala” means “No-Drink”-
Please don’t call us “Bear” !
We’re so much more special, it just isn’t fair !
With two “thumbs” per ‘hand’, we can’t run well, you see,
So we climb, eat and sleep up a Eucalypt tree !

“In the inland, though wild cats and foxes abound,
We few long eared pouched mammals still may be found;
My close cousin’s lost: My own species will be
Unless you help us now !”
Very truly,
B. Bilby
