Bottersnikes and Gumbles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bottersnikes and Gumbles are fictitious creatures in a series of children's books by Australian writer S. A. Wakefield. They live in the outback.
Bottersnikes have green wrinkly skin, cheese-grater noses and long, pointed ears that go red when they are angry, which is most of the time. They are perhaps the laziest creatures in the world. They eat pictures of food out of magazines, though they are also fond of tomato soup and mattress stuffing.
Gumbles, on the other hand, are friendly and cheerful and can be squashed into any shape without being hurt. They are hopeless when they get the giggles.
Wakefield wrote four books about the Bottersnikes and Gumbles:
- Bottersnikes and Gumbles (1967)
- Gumbles on Guard (1975)
- Gumbles in Summer (1979)
- Gumbles in Trouble (1989)
