Join the zookeepers in Australia as they help a koala and her joey escape from a bushfire in this adventure filled children’s book.
“This is a gorgeous book! I can just imagine reading to little ones.” – Kelsie, zoo education manager
The story follows two zookeepers, Bonnie and Freddie, as they travel to Australia to work with a local conservationist and his dog, to save a koala and her joey from a bushfire. It highlights the plight of Australian wildlife affected by the ever growing risk of bushfires, which are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change. The book portrays this message in a family friendly way and also has a parents page at the back with more information about the conservation issue. The book also shows kids how they can help at home and has a fun check list of activities to combat climate change, protect wildlife and encourage positive environmental action.
I love the illustrations, the rhyme, the deep message and the beautiful practical tips at the end. I honestly think it is perfect! This is a book I would LOVE to read to my students! – Ashlee, primary school teacher
