## Imagine a perfect beach where you can swim, surf, splash through the waves, make sandcastles, hunt for treasure, explore rock-pools, muck about in boats, fish from the jetty, and build a bonfire under the stars. Come to Magic Beach, where adventure begins! The votes are in, and Alison Lester's classic celebration of the Australian beach has been named Australia's Best Children's Picture Book of all time! Guardian Australia's poll drew over 15,000 votes a day, and the top ten finalists included classics like Possum Magic and Animalia alongside more recent favourites like Come Over to My House and All the Ways to Be Smart. You can discover the full list of books here. We are delighted to have the 35th anniversary hardcover edition of Magic Beach available to buy online for the special price of $19.99 (was $24.99). This special price is available online only (not in our shops) until 11.59pm this Sunday 8 Feb.
