There's a Prawn in Parliament House
Annabel Crabb's hilarious kids' guide to democracy — set where it happens.
Every year, busloads of schoolkids file through Parliament House on the Canberra excursion of passage — and this is the book to send them home with. Written by ABC favourite Annabel Crabb and illustrated by the gloriously silly First Dog on the Moon, "There's a Prawn in Parliament House" explains how Australia's democracy actually works while making children (and the adults reading aloud) laugh out loud. It turns the capital's most important building from a boring grey landmark into a place full of stories, characters and genuinely useful knowledge. A brilliant gift for a curious kid, a class teacher, or any family planning a trip to the national capital — educational enough to please the grandparents, funny enough that the kids will actually read it.
