Norman S Super Library

Barry, Norman, Keith, Bernard and Doug are united in a brand new collection! This boxed set includes six of Norman's top library picks, including: Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell, Keith the Cat with the Magic Hat, Barry the Fish with Fingers, Barry the Fish with Fingers and the Hairy Scary Monster, No-Bot the Robot with No Bottom and Doug the Bug that went Boing. With this perfect collection, you can play hide and seek with Barry, find Norman's perfect shell or help Bernard retrieve his lost bottom! So why not venture into this wonderful world of reading and illustration, created by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet?

The 4 volumes in this set, originally published between 1980 and 1983, bring to light and focus on the conflict between Japan and Australia and Japan and the USA. Timothy Hall’s volumes, richly illustrated with black & white photographs, used highly contentious documents as their sources and give fascinating insights into a period of Australian history which is sometimes less than gloious. John J. Sbrega’s tour de force is not only one of the most extensive annotated bibliographies on the USA and Japan in World War 2 ever published, but it also provides invaluable information on lesser known but no less important aspects of the conflict.

Norman, a slug who wants to be a snail, is determined to find something that will work as a shell.
