The moral of this story is that you don't have to win a gold medal for your mother to love you. Good for a story time because the kids can repeat the refrain and it'll remind parents to tell their kids they love them.
A Dreamtime Story from the Australian Aboriginies told by the Elders and passed on to the young children of their tribe.
Whilst the other animals are busy hunting, the Echidna is left under the Shade Tree to guard the children. But instead of rewarding the Echidna for doing so, the 'other animals' feed him only the scraps left from the tastiest bits.
This myth explains of how the Echidna got its spikes on his back, how it came to eat ants and why until this day, walks awkwardly.

Exciting for an early reader's story!
I love love love the illustrations in this, done by a very young Pamela Lofts. The first time I read this I was probably like six, and I looked at the illustrations -- the loose paint spilling across the page and was like "I could draw those!"
It made it so accessible and all the more important to me.
This is the story of how birds got their colours in the Dreamtime until ...
Still love it.
