★Loving and guiding the children through the early years of their lives has been a wonderful and unique experience that their parents will always look back on with pride and pleasure, so if the series that they learnt back then can bring safety, security and sensibility to your children now, then we as a family will have succeeded in passing along a crucial baton!

Swoopy is a black and white magpie who lives high up in a gum tree with his Mum and Dad, just near a golf course.
One day when his parents are away finding food, he sees a pretty pink golf ball plop along the green grass below their nest. He flies down, picks it up, and takes it back up into the nest. He hears a man shouting something but doesn't think anything's wrong?
When his parents come home, they tell him it is wrong to take things that don't belong to you, and they push the ball back out of the nest down onto the ground. But the next day, Swoopy sees another ball, and he can't resist! What happens next?
Join Swoopy to learn why stealing is wrong.

With four children under five, living on a small farm near Melbourne, the author respected the need for their careful education and sensible discipline and told them stories, based on farm and wild animals, that would impart to them life lessons for their paths ahead!
With the passage of time, some twenty-five plus years, these stories have now been put down in writing and published for children everywhere who will face similar challenges and choices in their own lives that the author's children successfully met in theirs.
