âIn âDigit Dick on the Barrier Reefâ Leslie Rees has written one of the most beautiful childrenâs stories yet published in Australia, while the illustrator, Walter Cunningham, uses in his pictures a wealth of appropriate colour and charmingly interprets the various characters and scenes. This book rightly portrays the Great Barrier Reef as one of natureâs wonders and it is seen through the eyes of Digit Dick, a tiny boy only as big as his motherâs big toe. Dickâs adventures are many, and throughout he remains a resolute little fellow that children (and for that matter adults) undoubtedly love.â (From dust jacket) |
