A wonderful way to introduce young children to this favourite Australian classic. And a gorgeous concept book about colours and counting.
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
under the shade of a coolibah tree . . .
and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
‘Who’ll come a-waltzing matilda with me?
Sing along with one of the most-loved and best-known Australian poems and learn all about colours and counting. A perfect way to introduce little ones to an Australian classic.
