Straight in at #1 this month is Runt and the Diabolical Dognapping, the second instalment about the popular, irrespressible dog Runt; which is closely followed by the latest picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Philip Bunting. There are new books for fans of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The Baby-Sitters Club, and the first in a new series from Judith Rossell about two cheeky cats!
Also noteworthy is a funny and informative account of how Australia's democracy works, There’s a Prawn in Parliament House by Annabel Crabb, and so many other fantastic books not to be missed.
