"My Lost Mob" By Venetia Tyson
My Lost Mob is a joyful, distinctly Australian tale brought to life through bold textures, vivid colours, and unforgettable characters. This story continues to captivate young readers with its visual charm and gentle humour.
Follow a young emu as he searches high and low for his missing mob, asking every creature he meets along the way: “Have you seen my mob?” From a kangaroo to a cassowary, each animal offers directions—some helpful, some hilariously confusing—leading to a heartwarming reunion.
Set against rich Australian landscapes, this visually stunning picture book is perfect for early readers and anyone with a love for local wildlife and playful storytelling. A modern classic in the making, My Lost Mob is a must-have for every child’s bookshelf.
