    Aussie kids wouldn't know a squirrel if it bit them on the you-know-what.

    I really like this style and the use of black ink on watercolour. Very cute. And squirrel like too.

    Oh wow, it's amazing! It actually looks like an illustration from a childrens book. Those watercolour pencils have been hiding for far too long!

    i just asked the Boo what was in the picture and she assures me it is a mouse! We all know it is a beautiful squirrel - wish I could draw like that.

    Too cute!
    I continued the survey and asked Moo who said it was 'a mice.' But I needn't have asked her as she argued with me that the possum walking on the power lines was 'A CAT'!

    Perhaps it's the rarer eastern suburbs fluffy tailed kangaroo?
