Charlie Burr and the Three Stolen Dollars 

A great series about the real life mischief every boy gets up to! Written in simple language and full of Australian humour. Charlie has 'borrowed’ three dollars from his mum to buy an icy pole, and Charlie’s dad has brought home a dingo pup. So Mum isn’t happy with either Dad or Charlie! To get back in her good books Charlie has to quickly find a way to recoup the three dollars and work out how to keep the pup. It’s not hard to believe that trouble follows, but the ever-resourceful Charlie soon finds a plan.
