Very sad to say that this childhood classic is not to be a classic for my children. We stopped at p I don't usually let the kids stop reading a book part way through, however, they honestly didn't like reading it and found it boring. I was disappointed as the movie was coming out last holidays and I had wanted to read it before we went to the movie, but that proved to be no further motivation. The movie, was nice but lacklustre, and did not provide additional incentive to finish. View 2 comments. Stopped reading this book on page Felt sad as I was really looking forward to reading it again after many years. I really dont think this is a childrens book, there are some rather violent themes in it, including murder. I diddnt like Blinky as a character, i thought he was so rude to everyone he met for no reason. I also think there was animals in the bush that shouldnt be there? Besides little details like that it was a cute story. Nov 15, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: homeschoolread-to-kidsa-wayfinder-s-voyage I loved reading this with my kids. I wish I could fake an Australian accent. Blinky is not a good role The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill and many of the other characters are selfish, but we thought the antics were cute. The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill listed the animals as they came up and looked them up later. Sep 19, Laurie rated it it was ok. Loved the Blinky Bill tv cartoons when I was a kid. Blinky Bill is downright rude and unlikeable. The illustrations are fun though, if a bit odd for bush animals to be wearing clothes. Aug 24, Ellinor rated it really liked it Shelves: children-s-book-3childrens-booksanimalschildren-s-books. I loved to watch the animation series of Blinky Bill when I was a kid. The book isn't quite as funny as the TV show but it is really worth reading anyway. It has a slightly different focus - at least at the beginning. A lot is told of the danger the koalos and the other animals are living in. Kids can really learn a lot about Australian nature and animals from this book. Aug 30, Grace rated it really liked it Shelves: childrensanimals. Remember reading these as a child! Loved them very much. Apr 27, Casey rated it it was ok. Okay, from a serious perspective, this book has a truly unlikeable protagonist. Secondly, the volume of violence in this chat is too damn loud. Why does every second character die or get tortured in The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill way? Blinky Bill, the mischievous anthropomorphic koala, is well known around the world through the TV cartoon and movies, but the book version is a little darker. He runs away from home several times and constantly disobeys his mother, who of course beats him when she catches him - this would The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill been a normal punishment at the time it was first published in the s. His father is brutally murdered by a man with a gun quite early in the story. The animals are often cruel to each other: for exampl Blinky Bill, the mischievous anthropomorphic koala, is well known around the world through the TV cartoon and movies, but the book version is a little darker. The animals are often cruel to each other: for example, Blinky often talks about death rather flippantly and at one point, kills a nice frog, ants kill a goanna and snake, and a fox is tricked into eating a prickle-filled The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill rabbit. You could argue that the harsher aspects of the story bring home the difficulties of life to children but it seemed a little strong to me. For some reason, the pictures are often a long way from the text they illustrate, and this forces the reader to flip back and forth unnecessarily. This is the edition, so I hope that later editions have corrected this problem. In the story itself, there are some strange mistakes of biology, such as hedgehogs and The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill living in the Australian bush, despite neither of them being native to the country.
