About the Illustrator
    When I was a little fellow we used to do lots of singing in the car. Dad would play old Hank Williams tapes and we would sing along — all six of us. My dad, unlike Ben’s, actually knew all the words to all the songs. The rest of us didn’t have the foggiest, but it never stopped us from having a good crack at them. I think every father should have the right to make bad cornball jokes to his kids. I fully intend to. In fact, I have already begun and my oldest boy is only three — poor bugger!
    Gus Gordon is an illustrator based on Sydney’s northern beaches. He has illustrated nearly 50 books for children including
