The story follows friends like Jumping June the Kangaroo, Blue Tongue Beau and Artie Emu from June\u2019s house through the bush to a swimming spot. As our reckless characters navigate hazards that threaten them with spinal injury, snakebite and being squished, will Billy\u2019s simple precautions get them through unharmed?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Information at the back of the book reveals that real life can be tragically less successful\u2014for example, that 10 children die each year from preventable car accidents in driveways. A good book for adults to read to toddlers and infants, and an ideal reader for 5 to 7 year olds. For advanced readers and adults there\u2019s safety information.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center has-background has-normal-font-size\" style=\"background-color: #e0f0f6;\">More information can be found on Billy's <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/billybesafe.com.au\/\">website<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"314\" class=\"wp-image-1984\" src=\"https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals-1024x314.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals-1024x314.png 1024w, https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals-600x184.png 600w, https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals-768x235.png 768w, https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals-1536x470.png 1536w, https:\/\/halsteadpress.com.au\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BBS-internals-2048x627.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Pat Kennedy<\/strong> was a registered nurse before joining the Ambulance Service of NSW and becoming one of Australia\u2019s first intensive care paramedics.
