Everybody in this backyard has a spot, and your child’s is the best one: on top of the wombat, in the sun. Then a joey turns up in a bundle and starts trying everybody’s spot.

Everybody had a spot.

Boing

Thinks everything is a pouch. Tried every pouch in the backyard: the esky, the recycling (twice). Then he picked one kid.

Doug

Bit heavy.

Two words. Every time. Carries it all. Mentions it once. Doesn’t do corners. Digs through.

Effie

No worries.

Can’t hug. Found another way. Covered in spikes, so she invented the nose-bump. (The peg? No idea.)
