#AyUpAugust #Day2 #Babies Meet May Gibbs‘s Gumnut Babies. Most Australian kids would have grown up reading these or watching the cartoon on television. They‘re so adorable, with their pink cheeks, big eyes & gumnut hats! There‘s also Wattle babies, Boronia babies & Gum-Blossom babies. But watch out for the Big Bad Banksia men & wicked Mrs Snake 🐍 They like to eat little babies who wander out alone.
@TaylorMay I'm so sorry for your loss. Here are my two crazies cuddling by the fire (although one is right next to me atm, hoping for crumbs) 🤗
This was just too cute not to share. 🐶🐻
#FallIntoBooks Day 24: Australian children's classics make me want to be #stuckinthepast
#90sInJuly #day6 #WhereTheWildThingsAre There's a lot of Wild Things in May Gibbs world. Set in the Australian bush, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are two gumnut babies, trying to find their way around their small world, making friends with Mr Lizard & Mrs Kookaburra & staying out of the clutches of the wild Banksia Men & the sly Mrs Snake. If you haven't read these, look them up. The drawings are so beautiful, every gumnut baby has a different flower.
pickMy 2nd book tonight in my #LizsLibraryLoves is the classic Australian books by May Gibbs about a set of Gumnut babies called Snugglepot and Cuddlepie & their adventures through the Aussie bush. There's many short stories in the complete collection including meeting Mr Lizard & always running away from the nasty Banksia Men. All small children will love these books, 100yrs of Aussie kids have grown up on them. Extremely cute.🥜🍃
