Miss Molly lives alone in the Australian bush, but one day her peaceful life is changed forever by the arrival of two small, feathered friends. Miss Molly has never married and she has a lot to learn about bringing up a family. Now, she has become a very busy person indeed. There is no time at all for her daily walks in the bush, or even time to finish cleaning her little house. Poor Miss Molly finds her life has been turned upside down! But she is happy. COMMENT FROM LARRY BURN- Director of Catholic Education, Ballarat I was delighted to receive a copy of Meg, Mog and Miss Molly from Yvonne Horsfield, a teacher in the Diocese of Ballarat. Yvonne has written a delightful story which is beautifully illustrated by her son, Garth. Schools have a responsibility to teach students to read as early as possible in their education. A range of stimulating reading material is required to support the reading program. Meg, Mog and Miss Molly is not just a reader, but a story which will engage students at many levels and lead them to a deeper respect for the natural world which is so much needed in our time. I hope that many young people will enjoy reading the story and admiring the artwork. I thank Yvonne and congratulate her and I am sure that many classrooms will resonate with Meg, Mog and Miss Molly.
