Gusta, the rhino lady, and her friend Gusto, a rhino gentleman, are going through different life situations with humanized emotions and circumstances. However, in a fantastic “animalistic” form, touched with the breeze of charming humor, poetry, and animalistic wisdom. This special edition of Gusta & Gusto includes commentaries between Lea Sakran, the mother, and Laura, Dana Rose Sakran, her daughter.

Norman Lindsay’s classic tale about an anthropomorphic pudding and its band of protectors was written in 1917, in response to an argument between Lindsay and the critic and anthologist Bertram Stevens about the types of stories that would appeal most to children. In retrospect it appears that Lindsay clearly won the argument. The book has never been out of print in Australia and has been adapted for presentation as a film, a stage play, and an opera. It has been described by eminent children’s author Philip Pullman as "the funniest children's book ever written."

He won't let the children play in his garden. What can give him a change of heart?
