About This Book

Most people know about lions, zebras, monkeys, and bears, but what about bettongs and bilbies? Or quolls and quokkas? And potoroos and pademelons? These animals live on the continent of Australia, along with kangaroos, koalas, and many other marsupials.

With breathtaking full-page images including a double-gatefold spread, Sibert Honor author, photographer, and biologist Nic Bishop introduces young readers to the beauty and diversity of these amazing animals. Nic's simple, engaging text presents both basic information and fun, quirky facts about marsupials' appearance, habits, and life cycle, while his eye-catching photographs are sure to enchant readers of all ages.

An index and glossary are included at the end of the book.
