The board book, is sturdy and ready for the drool covered fingers of our littlest readers, who will be able explore and discover a fabulous range of Australia's furry, scaly and feathery baby animals.
Lessac has taken a unique approach at introducing these animals by grouping them using their baby names; joeys, hatchlings, fry, chicks, puggles, pups and platypups.
Each bright double page spread introduces one animal at a time, using a single sentence with the animal's name in bold typeface, for example 'Cheeky Tasmanian devil joeys play all night long.'
To extend the knowledge of older or more inquisitive readers, Lesaac has include one extra fun fact for each animal, in a smaller sized font, eg 'Sea dragon dads carry the fry eggs on their tails until they hatch.'
