Cuddly and curious, furry and ferocious, odd and unique--the amazing animals of Australia are a mixed bunch.

Meet them up close in this beautifully presented encyclopedia that is designed especially for young readers. Encyclopedia of Australian Animals combines over 250 gorgeous photographs with informative, easy-to-read text and fun facts about Australia's unusual animals, where they live and what they do. With a list of engaging activities to help young readers expand and consolidate their knowledge, this comprehensive collection will provide hours of educational and entertaining reading.
