Answer: pony

Thelma is a pony who really, really wants to be a unicorn. One day she dresses up as one and the story unfolds from there. The story is beautifully illustrated with a younger child in mind.

7. What does YABBA stand for?

Answer: Young Australians Best Book Awards

The Young Australians Best Book Awards (YABBA) were established in 1985 by a group of Australian authors keen to see children engaged in reading Australian books. Children get to "Recommend, Read, Rate and Reward" by voting for their favourite Australian book each year.
The awards are designed to give the readers, children, a voice in the process of deciding which books should be given awards. Children can recommend their favourite books to their peers.
8. "Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady" is a historical novel written by Ellen Emerson White. What series is it part of?

Answer: Blue

A Munchkin is a native of the fictional Munchkin Country in the Oz books by American author L. Frank Baum. In the book L. Frank Baum clearly states that blue is the munchkin's favourite colour. They will only wear clothes that are shades of blue and some have hair and beards that are blue. Blue is the flag colour of Munchkin Country in Oz.

The movie "The Wizard of Oz", does not follow the book and the munchkins appear in a variety of colours to take advantage of the new Technicolor process used in movies.
