Billie's Great Desert Adventure — Sally Rippin

The Billie B. Brown series was written and designed expressly with new, emerging readers in mind. Each book is a stand-alone, where Billie faces a new experience, or overcomes an issue in her own unique way. Gentle and timeless, these are friendship stories, family stories and school stories. There are no more than 50 words on each page, and there is word art or illustration on every second page to provide reading breaks. Billie B. has entered the picture book world in Sally Rippins new series, Billies Super Duper Adventures. Seeing a gap in the three-plus pre-school market, Rippin has taken Billie B. back to a younger age, with adventurous, everyday tales that will stir the imagination in all sorts of colourful ways. The first book in the series is Billies Underwater Adventure. The last place Billie wants to be is at kindergarten, but when their teacher Amy suggests they have an underwater adventure, Billie is soon in the depths of the dark blue sea, exploring castles, swimming with schools of fish, and finding scary sea monsters! In Billies Great Desert Adventure, Billie hopes her magic carpet will help her escape forty furious thieves!It is a delight being in the wild and wonderful imaginations of Billie B. and her friends as they leave real life and immerse themselves in their make-believe world.
