Kilmeny Niland's Books

Tilly and Gruffy do not like Mollie-Sue's new toy, Bendy Bill, and they try different methods of sabotage to beccome her favorite toys again.

Celebrating 40 years in print this is a new edition of the classic children's poem by Australia's favourite poet, A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson. Mulga Bill's Bicycle was written by Banjo Paterson in 1896. It was written at a time when cycling was a relatively new and popular social activity. Cycles were ridden everywhere, including in the outback by shearers and other workers who needed to travel cheaply. Mulga Bill's Bicycle tells the hilarious story of Mulga Bill, who thinks he's much better at cycling than he turns out to be. A resounding crash sends him back to his original mode of transport - his trusty horse. Kilmeny and Deborah Niland's delightful illustrations catch the mood and humour of Paterson's verse with great spirit, and this book has become an enduring classic.

From a much-loved family team, this hilarious story is a riotous triumph of problem-solving.

This is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale. Ridiculed by the other animals, the ugly duckling decides to leave the farmyard. He spends a cold and lonely winter by a frozen pond. At last, summer comes and he discovers he has become a beautiful swan.

Twas the day before Christmas And in his beach shack, Santa was snoozing, Flat out on his back. 'Shake a leg, love,' Sheila Claus said. 'Time to get ready For the big night ahead.' Discover how the Aussie Santa gets ready to deliver his pressies!

On the first day of Christmas a swagman at the gate said, Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!

Twas the night before Christmas; there wasn't a sound. Not a possum was stirring; no-one was around. We'd left on the table some tucker and beer, Hoping that Santa Claus soon would be here. Christmas in the middle of an Australian summer means Santa has to find new ways to deliver his presents. The obvious solutions are to don a sunhat, shorts and a pair of thongs, not to mention ditching the sleigh and reindeer in favour of some roos and a ute. The gentle illustrations are packed with familiar icons cleverly woven into the visual narrative to recreate the warm, comforting, family atmosphere that Christmas is all about.

Early one morning Blossom Possum gets such a fright she thinks the sky is falling down! She has to tell someone, so she sets off with her news. On the way she meets her bush mates, but she also runs in to trouble ... Age 3+

On each of the twelve days of Christmas wallabies, dingoes, lorikeets, and other animals are sent as gifts.
