Parents, children and grandchildren have all enjoyed the antics of Alexander Bunyip as he turns Lake Burley Griffin into his very own billabong, mistakes the National Art Gallery for a ‘big, fat, juicy hamburger’ and Parliament House for a pizza. Perhaps it’s also the final page image of a familiar silver-haired PM tucked into bed with teddy and a copy of ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ that accounts for the enduring appeal of the Monster to adults and children.

Andrew Bunyip says: This is one of the first books I remember my parents reading to me when the first edition came out in 1972. And it was the inspiration for coming up with the name of this shop!
