Australian Baby Animals

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A classic showcase of Australian baby animals and their families for very young children from a consummate author/illustrator.

With one animal baby featured on each double page spread, this colourful introduction to iconic Australian creatures groups them according to their baby names: joeys, hatchlings, fry, chicks, puggles, pups, and platypups. The animals cover the full gamut of family groups: from marsupials to monotremes and reptiles to birds.

Each baby animal is described by one line of text (in bold type). And there's a special additional fact for extra interest.

Australian Baby Animals by Frané Lessac is a delightful exploration of the diverse and unique baby animals found in Australia, perfect for engaging young readers.
