History will never be boring again, thanks to the Betoota Advocate!

With their usual sarcastic wit, knowledge and humour, the Betoota's History for Kids series is a non-fiction historical adventure that will engage kids in the historical events that shaped the future. No-one can make history more interesting than Betoota, as their 1.2 million Instagram followers would agree!

From the unique perspective of a curious ibis (or Bin Chicken), Betoota provides a historically accurate view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the most magnificent landmarks in the world.

The book explores wild ideas, the challenges of building the bridge, and how one idea became an iconic landmark.

This is history, just better!

Author Biography

Pre-eminent journal of truth, purveyor of conservative rural news. Founded in the mid-1800s, the newspaper enjoyed a period of obscurity for over 150 years until the decision was made, by an unpaid intern, to create a website for it and distribute articles through social media. That was 2014. Today, The Advocate enjoys a bizarre and inexplicable cult-following both domestically and abroad. It has become one of the most widely read newspapers in the country. ' Scod' is best known as one-third of beloved Australian idiot-band Tripod, with whom he's won an ARIA and lost a GRAMMY. He's also a veteran writer, composer and illustrator for videogames, animation and kids' publishing, working for such folks as Ubisoft, Wizards of the Coast, the Cartoon Network and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Scod previously worked with Betoota as storyboard supervisor on The Betoota Advocate Presents for Paramount+.
