The Great Lizard Trek

Trek through country with Rocky and his lizard relatives in search for a cooler habitat.

Description

Rocky, an ornate dragon, lives on granite rocks in the south-west of Australia. But further north, where it is getting hotter and wetter, his desert relatives are having trouble with their eggs. As the lizards trek through country in search of a new home, Rocky shares local Indigenous and Western understanding of these changing environments and the animals that live in them. Written by Felicity Bradshaw AM, a retired Research Officer at University of Western Australia, and illustrated by Norma MacDonald, an Aboriginal Yamatji artist, The Great Lizard Trek will delight, entertain and inform children. Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 6-9.
