Picture Book Review: Aussie Jingle Bells, by Colin Buchanan and Nick Bland
Reviewed by Sally Murphy
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, hey!
|
|  |
Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden ute,
Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot.
Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs,
It’s summertime and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs.The words to this one will be familiar to most Australians - Aussie Jingle Bells has been sung at concerts, Christmas pageants and more for several years. Now, though, singer Colin Buchanan (who some will recognise from Playschool) teams with illustrator Nick Bland, to present the song in a hardback picturebook format, with plenty of Aussie scenery and a CD recording of the song. This is a wonderful Christmas treat which kids and parents alike will enjoy for years. Aussie Jingle Bells, by Colin Buchanan and Nick Bland
