Well, it is published now, and just as funny as I expected, and today I came across this teacher guide from Walker Books Australia with ideas to extend it in the classroom - and there is a cute printable postcard at the end. http://www.walkerbooks.com.au/statics/dyn/1283737199726/Its-a-Book-Classroom-Ideas.pdf
(This is the Teacher site at Walker Books http://www.walkerbooks.com.au/Teachers/Classroom-Ideas )
