The fauna of Australia consists of a huge variety of animals, birds, and reptiles; most are endemic to it. Jennifer Cossins, award winning artist and writer with a passion for nature has carefully selected 26 of these unique and unusual creatures for her latest children’s picture book; one for each letter of the alphabet – everything from Azure Kingfisher to Zebra Finch

Although many of Australia’s native animals are well known, there are still many like the bilby, numbat, and quokka which are not. The author has carefully included several of these in her book ‘A-Z of Australian Animals.” Her picture book is beautifully illustrated with simplistic drawings of the selected distinctive animals.  The information about each animal which highlights the where and how it lives in Australia, is supplemented by a little known ‘interesting fact’ at the conclusion of the text; this will further engage not only the younger the readers but also the parents.

As the young reader turns the pages of this book they will not only begin their journey through the alphabet but they will also discover some of Australia’s most stunning, fascinating and iconic animals.
