The Ballad of Cactus Joe Summary

The Ballad of Cactus Joe by Lily Murray

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!

The Ballad of Cactus Joe Reviews

"Murray has crafted a funny rhyming tale that adds new birds to Cactus Joe's branches bit by bit... McFarland makes the pages bright and colourful while remaining true to the story's desert setting... This is a beautiful picturebook with heart and humour." * Conor Bredin, Children's Books Ireland *
