Mary Had a Little Lamb: What Really Happened

a hardback picture book for 2-7 year olds illustrated by Natashia Curtin and published by Scholastic Australia.

Find out what REALLY happened to Mary. (Hint: she didn't just have a lamb.) This funny, rhyming nursery rhyme retelling interweaves three well-known nursery rhymes to create a new exciting, action-packed narrative.

Amelia will be signing copies all over Canberra and will get to Melbourne and Sydney to do the same when it is safe and allowed! Natashia lives in Melbourne and will sign books in stores when safe also.

This book is one that will no doubt live happily ever after!
