Extra copy purchased today from Croydon post office for sending overseas.

From inside front cover:
"In 'Spiky Echidna', a baby echidna get a piece of wire caught between his spines. It takes a friendly possum to pull it out for him."

Book has been neatly covered to protect it on its journey, with a special sticker on the front.

Another book against part 10 (Nepal) of my Lifetime Release Challenge for reading and eventual release.

Book, with a 'Puffing Billy' postcard, sent airmail from South Croydon postoffice today, September 20 2011.

Happy reading to everyone !

This was waiting at my post box today, in a parcel with another book, BC magnet, and postcard. Thank you so much, Jenny-G, for this wonderful surprise. Perfect timing as tomorrow we are having a special lunch with the girls to celebrate an upcoming local holiday, and I will bring this along to read together. By the way, I just saw the date--it got here amazingly fast, wow! Thanks again for sending it so far!

I forgot to make a note of this, but I took it with me the very next day after receiving it, and read it with the girls before our holiday lunch. They thought it was so cute. They've certainly never seen an echidna before! It's now on their bookshelf for them to continue to enjoy! Thanks again, Jenny-G!
