Cheesy Business: Clancy of the Outback series - Paperback

by Phil Kettle (Author), Bob Andersen (Author), Shane McGowan (Illustrator)

Welcome to the Clancy of the Outback series.

Eleven-year-old Clancy has been thrust into life out woop-woop. These are the stories of his outback adventures at his uncle's sheep station, Overflow Station.

In 'Cheesy Business', Mum decides to set up a new business on the Overflow. Big Bill calls it 'diversification'. But getting a pregnant cow and making cheese proves to be much more than curds and whey. After much trial and tribulation, and with the help of our two heroes, Mum's cheese is a great success - it's even 'gouda nuff to eat'!

At the conclusion of this book there is an Outback Facts section which discusses cheese, there is a John Hansen poem about Cheese and the all-important, Outback Jokes section.

These chapter books were developed for 7-10-year-old independent readers, who are starting on their first chapter books. They are high interest, easy language level.
