instant family classic.
Based on the illustrated stories of Norman Lindsay The
Magic Pudding is the tale of Bunyip Bluegum, a splendid young koala who always
believed he was an orphan. When he discovers that his parents may still be alive, he sets
out on a path of adventure in order to find them.
And adventure he finds! On his travels he meets the
loud and land –locked sailor Bill Barnacle and his penguin pal Sam Sawnoff and
together the adventurous three form The Noble Society of Pudding Owners. Sworn to protect
the irrascable cantankerous magic puddin’ named Albert from the dreadful Puddin’
Thieves, they set out to find Bunyip’s parents.
