Beskrivning

A funny, heartfelt story about the lifelong friendship between a crocodile and the boy who becomes his zookeeper--perfect for fans of A Sick Day for Amos McGee. Gus is the star of the reptile house. He enjoys putting on a show for visitors, and no one adores seeingGus more than Edward. They don’t just share a bond; they share a birthday. So, Edward decides to become a zookeeper, looking after all of the reptiles, but especially Gus. Over the years, they spend every birthday together, but one day Edward doesn’t show up for their shared celebration. Naturally, Gus decides to leave the zoo and find him. Don’t worry, readers. Edward is okay, and Gus is determined to make sure he stays that way. Birthday buddies and true friends stick together."Gus is a celebration of how much having people care about us means, whether we are very young or very, very old." - Dr. Stephanie Ward, Onscreen geriatrician for ABC television show "Old People’s Home for 4 Year Old’s" and "Old People’s Home for Teenagers."

Liz Murray is a teacher and library director from Melbourne’s south-east. She lives with three lovely boys (one husband, two sons) and loves the beach, playing board games with her friends and baking wonky biscuits. For a while, she worked in a school (not enough books), at a library service (not enough kids), and finally became a teacher librarian so she could surround herself with books and kids (perfect). She also serves on the committee for YABBA (Young Australian Best Book Awards), where she loves to celebrate Australian literature and young Australian readers. Gus is her debut children’s book. Walid Serageldine is a Swiss illustrator, living and working in Lucerne. He was a finalist in the Golden Golden Pinwheel Young Illustrators Competition for his debut picture book.

Recensioner i media

"Gus so beautifully illustrates to every reader - both young and old - how friendship is an essential part of life, regardless of age. It shows us how over time, friendships can grow, evolve and adapt, but have no less meaning or value to us. Gus is a celebration of how much having people care about us means, whether we are very young or very, very old." - Dr. Stephanie Ward, Onscreen geriatrician for ABC television show "Old People’s Home for 4 Year Old’s" and "Old People’s Home for Teenagers."
