Notes on the book:
It all started a few years ago when Bruce and Jackie were down in Shaggy Gully, following up the rumour that internationally acclaimed prima ballerina Josephine was really a kangaroo. (A likely tail/tale!)
Jackie was just s/boiling the d/billy by Shaggy Gully Creek when Bruce pulled over a b/log for them to sit on...
And there under the log was an old tin can, tied up with baling twine. And inside the can was a yellowed newspaper. the last known copy of the once bestselling Snaggy Gully Times.
Jackie brushed off the spiders and Bruce deciphered all the mouldy bits - well, mostly, anyhow. And now everyone can read all about it!
Will Sm/ellie the elephant and her friends escape Mr Nasty's Big City Poo? How about the mysterious blonde up the three bears b/gum tree? And what terrible accident happened to the Shabby Guppy Swimming Drool? Find All the News That's Fit to Stink, in this celebration of that old fashioned country newspaper, the Daggy Gunky Limes!
