Lizzie Nonsense brings to life, through the story of one family, the experience of pioneering women and children left alone in the Australian bush while their husbands and fathers were away working. Seen through the eyes of Lizzie, a playful and imaginative little girl, the joy of childhood shines through despite the hard work.

"The text is simple yet evocative, emphasizing the parent-child relationship, while the skillfully rendered watercolors bring the unique setting to life. . . . Works nicely as a satisfying story of the value of imagination, familial affection, and an introduction to pioneer life." -School Library Journal
"Strikingly illustrated. . . . Just right for reading aloud. . . . A poignant title that extends the pioneer story beyond the American plains." -Booklist
