My father and I.

We went to the edge of the falls for revenge,

To find my attacker the magpie...

Luke Davies' poem 'Childhood Terror' describes in 9 lines the fear of a magpie attack and a boy's reaction as his father helps him face that fear. Together, author and illustrator have created a wonderful picture book that takes this poem and turns into a story of a dog and his pup on a journey to find the magpie. Brilliantly realised, the illustrations bring a whole new level to Davies' poetry. Tender, funny and courageous.

For ages 5-7.
