From the Author
This is my publishing debut! We all scribble and doodle constantly, but these books were born from the impending arrival of my little grandbaby. It was supposed to be a sweet 'baby' book, but somehow it took a wild detour into the fascinating world of our quirky, wonderful, and utterly unique Aussie wildlife!

Testimonials
Maggie Cardona - Gold Coast, Queensland
These very attractive illustrated books are such a great way of introducing young children to the love of reading and to the animals of Australia! What an appealing way for children to learn beyond the basics. My little neighbours who got them for Christmas were delighted with them.
Jacqueline Plaice - Tenterfield, NSW
For any family or friends wanting to purchase something different to read to children then this is it! Factual information with quizzes to expand knowledge and ignite imagination. For educational purposes why not teach our young ones facts about Australian natives and make it a joyful and interesting experience. Thank you Shobha Srinivasan for creating an Australian book of fun and learning.
