In another busy week in the shops and online, the new picture book by Adam Goodes has taken the top spot by a large margin. This is a gorgeous First Nations read-aloud for ages 2 and up.

The latest installment in the Treehouse series is still selling strongly, with the latest Wimpy Kid also performing well. This month’s Book of the Month, a delightful picture book about a curious penguin has also captured many people’s hearts.

It’s nice to see Don Watson’s history of Australia for children (and adults) making a reappearance on the list. This is a very accessible history book, in a handsome hardback with pictures, which is a great introduction to Australia’s past for young and old.
