This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

The Little Aussie Adventurers: The 2nd Adventure

Story by Anita Forbes; beautifully illustrated by Natalie Jane Parker.

Picked up at Idea's in Kakaako; larger photo here.

For the 2020 version of CathrineB's Title A-Z challenge, this is my "O" title.
This is my Australia read for the 2020 version of kiwiinengland's 666 challenge.
For the 2020 version of CathrineB's Authors A-Z challenge, this is my "F" author.

Monday, February 03, 2020: mailed to the winner of the Australian literature sweeps - congratulations!

No tracking for this one, but I hope it doesn't take too long.

(I clearly need to learn more about authors from Australia, but I was lucky enough to happen across this book and thought it would be fun to send the "Little Aussie Adventurers" on another journey. I look forward to seeing what other people send - to give me ideas of Australian books to read.)

Released for jumpingin's Ultimate Challenge for February (birds), GoryDetails's Great Backyard Bird Count challenge, ResQgeek's Becky's Hugs challenge in memory of his young daughter.

I'm so glad you've found this book! Won't you make a journal entry so the previous readers know that it's safe with you?

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

This is now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it as long as you wish, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

...and it's here! This one won't take too long to read, either :) Lovely illustrations.

** read it immediately while waiting for our new washing machine to be installed. The cutest story!

At the meet-up

I took this from our BC meet-up in Kamppi (Helsinki) this afternoon and I know already who's going to get it next ;) I've visited Australia (Sydney) on my second trip to New Zealand (in 2011), hopefully I'll get another chance to go there one day.. Thank you for the book!

I read this cute story last night and enjoyed especially the colourful illustrations :) Bream, Wark and Elwood are just beautiful!

It is snowing here on the south coast of Finland today but brave Benny and Flynn will take a bus to Porvoo in the evening ;)



With the book I'm participating Australia Challenge on the Finnish BC forum.

Aaawww! Thanks, mate!

Cute little story and beautiful pictures :) I'll ask my kids to read it as well, to practice their English.

I'm taking this with me to my geocaching event in Jakari. If no-one picks it up I'll take it to the main library bc-shelf.

Have fun reading!
