Publisher's Synopsis
This story is for all the girls and boys who love playing sport in their backyard. It is set in a back garden under the cool, spreading shade of a big mango tree. It describes all the chaos and disagreements that are typical of a children's cricket match. The stars of the show are Jenny, who catches the ball while she is pegging washing, and Bluey, the cattle dog, who steals the ball too. The story is set in the stinking summer heat with cicadas, icy poles and Mum's old veggie patch. Leigh Brown's illustrations add magic to this lovely story.
