With enthusiastic pleasure, this headstrong and impudent little koala sets out on a series of bold adventures testing not only his mother's patience, but also that of all the bush creatures and others he encounters. His shenanigans at Miss Pym's shop and Farmer Smifkins's vegie patch show him to be a very naughty koala indeed! Includes the original illustrations, bringing to life the wonderful world of Blinky Bill to today's generation.
