REVIEWED BY EVA, 8, NSW
This is a beautiful, Australian First Nations story from The Dreaming. It’s told by Agnes Lippo and compiled by Pamela Lofts.
This is a story about how the porpoise came to live in the sea. I really liked this book because it talks about lots of unique, cute creatures and what they eat.
I also liked how the kangaroo is trustable at the start and then changes at the end.
I disliked how the story was a bit challenging sometimes, because I don’t like fighting among characters.
This book made me feel happy and sad at the same time! This is a good book for ages 3 to 8. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
