From the Australian sea lion to the zebra finch, this photographic nonfiction picture book takes children on a captivating journey through the remarkable wildlife of Australia. Along the way, they'll meet both familiar animals and surprising discoveries-like the cassowary, quokka, and frilled-neck lizard-that inspire curiosity and wonder.
Created for inquiring kids who love learning about the world around them, Australian Wildlife from A to Z features vivid animal photographs, engaging questions that promote inquiry, and fun facts that encourage conversation and discovery. While it's organized alphabetically, this isn't a traditional alphabet book. Instead, it introduces young children to wildlife they may not have encountered before-supporting observation skills, vocabulary development, and early science literacy.
Ideal for children ages 3 to 8, this engaging nonfiction book invites young readers and pre-readers to explore new ideas, ask questions, and expand their knowledge of the natural world. Whether used in classrooms, libraries, or at home, it offers parents, caregivers, and educators a valuable tool for fostering early learning, nature appreciation, and global awareness. To assist grown-ups reading with children, a helpful pronunciation guide is also included.
Part of the Animal Kingdom ABCs series, this book celebrates the diversity of our planet's wildlife-one continent at a time.
