Amazing Animals of Australia’s National Parks

With its enticing and colourful design and its fascinating information, this is a book that children will want to pour over—either at home, in the classroom or on a road trip. It brings together 55 national parks, selected across all Australian states and territories, and over 120 animals. It’s divided into seven sections according to habitat (woodlands and grasslands; forests; rainforests; arid zones; mountains; wetlands and waterways; coasts, oceans and islands), each including a number of national parks and a selection of the fish, reptiles, frogs, birds and mammals that inhabit them. At the end of the book is a section on ‘little critters’—insects and spiders.
