Introduction

This childrens book is a compilation of seven stories. The central characters in my book are just some of the adorable and unusual animals and birds seen during my childhood.

Setting and Environment

Not far from our home, on the crest of the riverbank rose a huge leafless gum tree, long since dead. It was home to much birdlife and especially the very noisy cockatoos and galahs.

Childhood Adventures

As children we roamed all over our property with complete safety where we discovered an abundance of wildlife in their natural habitat.

Writing Journey

I started writing about Pete the Pesky Possum only a few years ago and from then on it just mushroomed. When I wrote about one character, another popped up, and I have many more just waiting for me to bring them to life.

Challenges

The only problems I encountered were to know when to stop.
