Meet Sir Sydney Dinkum a rascally koala bear from the Outback of Australia who believes he can be The World's Next Big Hero. Like Dr. Doolittle he has the super power to talk to all animals, including humans! Like Don Quixote, he believes it's his job to right the wrongs of the world! But is this just an Impossible Dream? Can a koala really be dubbed knight? Can a little marsupial armed with a boomerang make a difference in the world? Or will Sydney make a mess of things, as usual?

About this title

From the Author:

Long live the "mad knights" of the world. And long live Sir Sydney Dinkum, The World's Zaniest Koala Knight.     

About the Author:

After an exhaustive search, Sir Sydney Dinkum selected Martha Gold and Marc Reilly to be his Official Storytellers and tell the world of his adventures. When asked why, out of all the writers in the universe, these two were selected, he said, "It was a no-brainer, mate. Those two are fair dinkum! And as everyone knows, that means good people."

As writers, Marc Reilly and Martha Gold have collaborated on screenplays, stage plays and numerous work-for-hire writing projects. They have an extensive background in show business and, in particular, entertainment for children.
