I've just listened to this whole audiobook this morning, it's only 1 hour long. My 7yr old and I have been listening at night but we often fall straight to sleep so we never finished it. Luckily I found the book for her for Christmas 😉
But, oh my, tears from me in the kitchen at the end! Even though it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Loved the atmospheric writing of Thiele and the connection children have with animals is just so strong.

What a score I found today at my local Vinnies!
This gorgeous box set of books by Colin Thiele, unread & brand new! For only $3!!! What a steal 🤑
My 7yr old & I are actually listening to this on audiobook atm, I've never experienced the book before but the movie has been one of my all time favorites since I was a kid. I cant believe how lucky I am. This set is certainly in gift giving condition & will be a perfect gift for my little one this Xmas

Ruthiella Score!! 4y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @Ruthiella sure is! And the box that the books come in is like a little shack from the story of Storm Boy. It's a very exciting find. 4y
CarolynM Great find! Colin Thiele was such a great writer. My favourite is tagged, have you read it? 4y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @CarolynM No, I've not read any of his books yet. I know I have 2 of his books in our junior section of our home library called Danny's Egg and The Fire in the Stone. I'm looking forward to reading all of these in the new year with my girls. I'll have to add that one you mentioned to my tbr now 😉 4y

#feistyfeb #day23 #boyinthetitle I could not find one print book with boy in the title, plenty of girls but no boy. I ended up having to search my ereader & I found these three. About a boy is a Nick Hornby classic, The Horse and His Boy by CS Lewis is one of the Narnia series & Storm Boy is an Australian classic about a young boy who rescues a pelican. The movie is also an Australian classic, definitely look it up. It's worth it.

An iconic book by one of my favourite Australian authors. Set in Goolwa and the Coorong - we're here now & it's hardly changed in 50 years since Storm Boy was written. I recommend the film too with David Gulpilil. My husband has arranged this shelf with books on South Australia. 😎

MrsMalaprop Love. Love. The book and the film. My mum introduced me to it as a child and I remember being haunted by its bleak beauty. I took my son to see a play version a couple of years ago, in which they had these amazing puppets playing Mr Percival and the other pelicans. 8y
Abailliekaras @SMW the play sounds great! I had such a Colin Thiele phase when I was young! 8y
