by Gina Newton and Kilmeny Niland.

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.

" 'The sky is falling and I'm off to tell the prime minister,' replied Blossom Possum.

'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 beyond, up the hill and past the black stump, until they bumped into . . . Joanna Goanna. "

On the way she meets her bush mates. But she also runs into trouble.

This retelling of a favourite folktale "Henny Penny" has a delightful Aussie twist and a refreshingly positive ending. The author has used typically Australian animals to create a cast of quirky characters. Rocky Cocky is a cheeky cockatoo, Echo Gecko is an old hippie lizard, and Toey Joey is a lively young kangaroo.

Blossum Possum is on the Years 3-4 booklist of the Premier's Reading Challenge.
