Lead title

Kev Wants to Fly

He asked the geese for lessons, and they honked a flying plan:
'Run fast and flap like crazy!' So Kevin flapped and ran.
He went zooming past the bowsers, past the Hills Hoist and the shed,
Leaving dust clouds in a vortex swirling right around his head.

Kevin the emu has one big dream: to fly like the geese. 32 pages, rhyming text, by Banjo.
