Description
As the sun sets, Rakali prepares to patrol the riverbank. He is on a mission to fill his belly, protect his pups, and keep his home safe. But he must face feral foxes, disease-carrying black rats, and toxic cane toads. Will he make it safely back to his burrow before the sun rises?
Rakali of the Riverbank is an engaging look at a night in the life of an Australian native water rat, and the challenges that these unique and charming creatures face.
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
