This book is a description of where they lived and how they ended up in the Antarctic. They were hoping one day to meet their sister Jenny, who lived on the other side of the freezing Antarctic. They said goodbye to their friends who were swimming to Hervey Bay, Queensland, where it is warm. They decided, after a few days, to go themselves. They were warned by their father to watch out for whaling boats, which they had a close call with. They passed by many sailing boats, ships, and bays. They also went past Botany Bay, and they rested at Bondi, close to the beach where the people were in awe of their breaches out of the water. They rested there before they moved on.

This is an educational childrens story for children from five to twelve years of age. It is about a white kangaroo who was rescued as a joey by a mother and daughter in a suburban home. But the white kangaroo, Hippity Hoppity, got too big; so they decided to let him go in the bush. Hippity Hoppity was unsure what to eat, and when two little girls fed him some branches off a tree, he passed out. Cleverly, the little girls made a sled from their backpacks and dragged him to a doctor. The doctor managed to dislodge the leaves and drove Hippity Hoppity and the exhausted girls back to where the girls first found him. When they arrived, they noticed two red kangaroos eating from the same tree. They must have seen the girls feeding Hippity Hoppity with its branches and tried them for themselves. This is the lesson from this story: do not feed wild animals.

This is a story about a family wherein the father was a football coach and shift supervisor who spent long hours away from home. This meant his wife had to discipline her three children, and she would tell him about them when he got home from work. The children thought of her as a telltale, and she was not as popular as her husband with them. One day, the father found his wife crying as she heard her children saying that she was a telltale, so the father decided to do something about it, as he thought it was very unfair to his wife. One day, he saw a little bird sitting on a tree, which gave him an idea. He told his wife about it, and they decided to try it, even though it was a white lie. So now when the children were naughty, instead of saying, “Your mother said you were naughty,” he would say, “My little bird said you were naughty.” That was when the telltale bird came into being. From then on, when the father was informed that his children had been naughty by their mother, he would say, “My little bird told me that . . .”
