Australian Baby Animals

Frané Lessac's 'Australian Baby Animals' is a delightful nonfiction picture book that introduces very young children to the unique wildlife of Australia. Each double-page spread features a different baby animal, described with a single line of bold text and an additional interesting fact. The book groups animals by their baby names, such as joeys, hatchlings, and puggles, covering a wide range of family groups including marsupials, monotremes, reptiles, and birds. It's a gentle, visually engaging way to spark curiosity about nature and build vocabulary related to animal life.

"A classic showcase of Australian baby animals and their families for very young children. 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."--Provided by publisher.
