What makes a children's book character memorable? Is it their personality, the story they tell or the way they're depicted by the illustrator? Is it that they make us laugh or cry? Or is it that we can identify with them? Often, even as adults, we can remember what our favourite children's book characters said or conjure an image of them in our mind's eye. From Snugglepot and Cuddlepie to the Green sheep and Pig the Pug, Australian children's book characters have always delighted the young and young-at-heart. Get together with old friends and meet new ones in this lighthearted retrospective of much-loved characters from over a century of Australian illustrated books for children. The book showcases a range of Australian picture book characters, and highlights the breadth of Australian children's books over the last century to give readers of all ages the chance to get to know their favourite characters a little better.
