The Thing On Mount Spring
Jenny Morris’s first book, “The Thing on Mount Spring” has delighted children, parents, and teachers everywhere. Not only are they enthralled with this delightful tale and the mystery of The Thing, but also captivated by the drama that is commonly played out in Australia’s bush country.
The bonus gift this book gives is to teach the children some beautiful vocabulary, as Jenny never writes “down” to the child. Rather, she sprinkles some beautiful new words that will challenge, whilst keeping the book accessible to all.
A poetic/heroic tale of good animal companions, making friends with an enigmatic Turbi.
The Thing on Mount Spring by Jenny Morris is a delightful tale; cleverly written, beautifully illustrated and very Australian to boot! May the wayward Turbi find many admirers amongst picture-book lovers of all ages.
It’s lovely to see an illustrated verse story that highlights our unique Australian wildlife with friendships and challenges. It is also special in terms of the timely subject matter.
