Jasper & Abby: And the Great Australia Day Kerfuffle

By Carla Zapel, Rhys Muldoon, Kevin Rudd

Follow the adventures of the Prime Minister's pet cat and dog, as they try to avert one disaster after another during Australia Day celebrations at The Lodge It was a special day at the Lodge. There was going to be a party. A big party. Abby the dog was there. Jasper the cat was there. But so was a scruffy little dog. The Prime Minister receives many letters and emails from children asking about Jasper and Abby, and he often tells his friends, colleagues, and staff stories of the antics of his family pets. Having heard these stories, Rhys Muldoon--who has been friends with Kevin Rudd for many years--encouraged the Prime Minister to write a children's book. Proceeds from this book go to The Center for Community Child Health, at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
