Australian Animals

Australian Animals by Arnold, Caroline. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780688167660.

The continent of Australia is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife, and this captivating book highlights many of them. Tasmanian devils, koalas, and echidnas make their homes in leafy forests and woodlands. Other animals, such as kangaroos and wombats, inhabit dry grasslands. Still more species, like the bilbies, live in the hot desert, while along the coast fairy penguins parade to their burrows in the sand. Through award-winning author Caroline Arnolds clearly written text, young readers will discover how each animal--from dingo to glider, quoll to platypus--is able to adapt to its own special environment in the wild.
