The Bunyip Cage by Jill Eggleton, first published in 1993, is all about three little aussie children who have their sights set on catching a bunyip down at the local billabong so they can take it to the zoo. They build a wooden cage and imagine how it is all going to work out. However things don't pan out as they expected. They do indeed catch an animal but it is a far cry from the mythical bunyip of their imaginations.. The cover really doesn't do justice to the beautiful illustrations by Jeff Fowler enclosed within the book. The first page in the book would have made a striking cover. I just love the Kellogs Cornflakes box which sits on the table in the second illustration of the book. Product placement maybe?
