Yesterday was Ferret Day and I thought momentarily about including it on my blog, but as not many people in Australia really keep ferrets as pets, I didn't. Then today my friend at Momo Celebrating Time to Read wrote about a new Australian poetry book on her blog which included a poem from Brisbane author/illustrator Elizabeth Nussey which had a line saying 'ferrets fandango' so I reneged and thought why not include it on my blog.The library had five ferret books, five more than I thought we would have! And Lorna Hendry's wonderful new book Pets also has ferrets so we can do a Ferret Fandango display!

Thanks for mentioning me. Not so sure I like ferrets! You are right kids used to have them as pets I remember they sometimes bought one to school! I can give you the new poetry book so don't buy one for your school.
