Bluey the Possum and Rocky the Wallaby love living in Gumtree Gully. But along with their bush friends, they're about to face a danger that could destroy everything.
Kel Richards works on radio and writes books. He has two children of his own, and he read them heaps of stories when they were younger. They used to complain, 'Dad, don't do the funny voices, just read the story.'
This children's story book is based on the Two Ways to Live gospel outline, introducing concepts such as God our creator, obedience, rescue and grace. And at the end of each chapter there's a section titled 'What's inside this story?' which explores the meaning. Suitable for 5-11 year olds. Gumtree Gully has a timeless message that you can share with your children.

Engaging 2 ways to live for youngsters
Review by Jennifer Mackerras | 27.07.2007
My son is three, and therefore a little young really for this book - or so I thought. He loves it! We read a chapter each night, and by giving each character a voice and using the illustrations, he sticks with the story very well.
The story and characters are engaging, and the text is well written. And the short sections called 'What's inside this story' at the end of each chapter give a very clear and concise 2 ways to live message.
The illustrations are very good, but I wish there were just a few more.
