Parrots in the chimney, frogs in the loo, a kangaroo in the garage and bats in the bed.

Phillip Adams has experienced all these and more since taking up residence in country New South Wales. Here, in a largely affectionate tribute to the animals with whom Adams and his family share their home, as well as the many animals who have crossed paths with him throughout his life, he shares the stories of a motley bunch of creatures.

A funny, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes challenging collection of stories that celebrates the importance of animals in our lives.
