The Ballad of Cactus Joe 
by Lily Murray (Author), Clive McFarland (Illustrator)
 
Cactus Joe is a lean 'n' mean prickle machine! He lives all alone in the desert and that's the way he likes it . . . until a woodpecker offers Joe a mighty fine deal: he'll eat Joe's pests if he gives him a home. Yeehaw!

But soon more and more birds come to stay, and Joe decides enough is enough. All Joe wants is to be left alone . . . or does he?

A heartwarming rhyming tale inspired by a real-life cactus!
