The book 'takes four of the animals which appear on Australian stamps--Basil the Emu, Misery the Sheep, Yo-Yo the Kangaroo and Gently the Koala--and sends them on a journey to the Land of the Rainbow Animals, where there are mauve sheep and green koalas--phantasmagoria which one seems to have seen somewhere before, though not in literature--and where everyone can at last get a meal of the color of the stamp from which he cam; which, it appears, is the only sort of tucker a Stamp Animal can digest.' Review in The Bulletin v70#3602 (23 February 1949), viewed 15 May 2026 nla.gov.au/nla.obj-550491560.
