On August 20, a group of young explorers was charged with a dangerous mission. They were to travel across wild country to deliver a valuable parcel.
The journey would be punishing. It would test the resolve of the brave young explorers. Most of all, it would provide us all with a pair of unlikely
heroes to admire and remember for many years to come.
This is their story.
Picture book author/illustrator Peter Carnavas is, in my opinion, one of the great unsung heroes of children's publishing. He is without fail gentle, humorous, insightful and whimsical. Not only is he able to tackle issues with sensitivity, but he is completely capable of conjuring up emotions with the stroke of his pen, a brush of colour or just a phrase or two.
The Great Expedition is a delight. A group of young explorers decides to tackle the great unknown, in the footsteps of Burke and Wills. Poorly provisioned and uncommonly brave, they face hardship and great challenges, and yet, despite all, they manage to make it across the backyard, via the sandpit and the paling fence, to their goal.
This book of adventure and imagination is an absolute treasure.
Ages 3 - 6.
