And the Kookaburra Laughed / E il Kookaburra Rise
Grandma's Tales - Book 4
By Margaret-Mary Wintle
Some stories are too funny not to share.
Once upon a time, a young girl went on a school camping trip in the Australian bush and learned very quickly that the kookaburras had their own ideas about dinner. Not once, but twice, a cheeky kookaburra swooped down and stole the sausage right off her fork, then sat laughing from its branch in the eucalyptus tree as if it was the funniest thing in the world.
Years later, that same girl, now Aunty Marguerite, took her nephews, Patrick and Leo, camping for the first time. Armed with a campervan named Betty, a frying pan, and Aunty Fiona by her side, she was determined that this time, the kookaburras would not win. Her secret weapon? A very important plan she called Kookaburra Patrol.
Warm, funny, and bursting with the sounds and spirit of the Australian bush, And the Kookaburra Laughed is the fourth book in the beloved Grandma's Tales series, bilingual stories in English and Italian, born from the real adventures Margaret-Mary Wintle shared with her grandchildren.
Illustrated by her grandchildren, Patrick and Leo Wintle, this is a story to read aloud, laugh together over, and remember for years to come.

I Racconti della Nonna - Libro 4
Di Margaret-Mary Wintle
Alcune storie sono troppo divertenti per non essere condivise.
C'era una volta una ragazza che andò in un campo scuola nella boscaglia australiana, e scoprì molto presto che i kookaburra avevano le loro idee sulla cena. Non una, ma due volte, un kookaburra birichino piombò giù e rubò la salsiccia direttamente dalla sua forchetta, per poi ridere dal suo ramo sull'albero di eucalipto come se fosse la cosa più divertente del mondo.
Anni dopo, quella stessa ragazza, ora zia Marguerite, portò i suoi nipoti Patrick e Leo a fare campeggio per la prima volta. Armata di un camper di nome Betty, una padella e la zia Fiona al suo fianco, era decisa che questa volta i kookaburra non avrebbero vinto. La sua arma segreta? Un piano molto importante che chiamò Pattuglia Kookaburra.
Calda, divertente e piena dei suoni e dello spirito della boscaglia australiana, E il Kookaburra Rise è il quarto libro della amatissima serie I Racconti della Nonna, storie bilingui in inglese e italiano, nate dalle avventure reali che Margaret-Mary Wintle ha condiviso con i suoi nipotini.
Illustrato dai suoi nipoti Patrick e Leo Wintle, questo è un libro da leggere ad alta voce, da cui ridere insieme e da ricordare per anni.
