Barbara Else Ordre des livres (chronologique)

School fairs, birthdays, rodeo, picnics, musicians and the country show - 30 stories about NZ children showing what they're made of at home, at school, in parades and anywhere! Roll up and join the fun! This collection is all about children having a go at something or being involved in a celebration or unusual event. Often, there is a twist in the tale. There are pieces about being on stage: poor Jacob and his jitters, lively Ophelia, keen Balu. There is a story about a wedding, and one about a baby party. There are stories about circuses (fleas! elephants!), and tales about magic - a mysterious dancing partner. There are new writers and lots of old favourites. Another excellent anthology from Barbara Else, alongside Philip Webb's cute and whacky illustrations.

Sophie battles with a new (old) house, three children, an importunate former lover, a drunken friend, ghosts in the attic, and a possum in the laundry all without the aid of her never-present but utterly charming husband, Russell. A hilarious look at modern marriage and family life
