What would happen if a Spoonbill or a Pelican or even an osprey came to your house? Fun and Mayhem, that’s what!

Thanks to Scholastic Narelle Oliver offers a quirky introduction to some of Australia’s native birds, and what might happen if we invited them into our everyday lives… MAYHEM! The scrapbooks cut out illustrations create energetic scenes in which birds such as the Osprey, Spoonbill’s and Pelican’s create disaster in human environments.

It’s a cheeky what if story that sparks readers imagination to the “What if” of birds in our lives and homes. Oliver introduces each species of bird by orientating readers with their natural environment, and then dramatically changes the contexts by putting the birds into places like airports, kitchens and shoe stores!!!

Quirky and fun, every second page offers catchy half-rhymes and font changes on important words that scaffold young readers into reading for themselves. Every other page has you yelling along with the warnings against the mayhem that will ensue if you EVER let a bird into your house!
