OUT NOW
Charley Learns to Swin
by Jane Gordon
Charley loved his adventures, although sometimes he went too far away and had to stay out overnight. Seeing a koala stranded out in the middle of a lake on his way home, nearly seemed too much for him. Especially the day after trying to save Rosie the baby wombat on an In-Between.
But the biggest adventure of all was about to happen when Old Man Kangaroo told him he needed to learn to swim to get home safely!

Charley Meets a New Friend
by Jane Gordon
Charley the echidna thought he had learnt the ways of the wild and what to do when meeting up with strangers, but he’d never been ‘far away’ from home, or out after dark, before.
So when Joey, his young kangaroo friend, and his mother’s friend, William the wombat, took him on an adventure ‘far away,’ it was all very new to him. He learnt there were things called ‘In-Betweens’ that they had to cross and ‘Bright-Eyes’ that rushed at them when crossing.
However, this new territory brought about the biggest adventure of all…

Charley Goes Out
by Jane Gordon
When Charley was still considered a puggle (a baby echidna), his mother told him they were going to the waterhole to meet the other wild animals. Charley’s mother knew they might meet a stranger along the way and therefore needed to teach him how to keep safe. This proved more difficult than she first thought.
Find out what happens when Charley meets the two-legged strangers. Does he listen to his mother’s advice? And who is the little friend who is always watching over him?
