The Adventures of Wonk

This is officially my all time favourite Children's book. Wonk is a wonderful lovable Koala bear who lives with his owner Peter and the two of them are constantly getting themselves into trouble (of a very gentle kind!). The stories are beautifully written. There's something very special about the illustrations too and I can't quite decide why. They seem to evoke deep feelings of nostalgia somehow. It wasn't until recently I realised how odd it was that I should love the book so much as a child and then come to live in Australia for my own adventure...hmm, I sense a koala theme!
