Description

Ex-library book with the usual stamps and markings. Spots on buckram cloth cover. Oblong format: 9 5/8"w x 7 3/8"h. "Brave Johnny O'Hare would be just another boaster routed by something routine except that this is set "way down there/ In the upside-down land/ of koala bear" where "dingoes howl and crocodiles lie/ In warm deep pools/ Under summer sky" and "the kookaburra in the tall gum tree/ Laughs and hoots, 'Ha, ho, hee, hee'." And where brave Johnny O'hare scoffs at tales "of the Bunyip there." [Kirkus Review]
