'For sharp eyes only' Illustrated by Elaine Lyons, written by Nita C. Lester
While admiring the colours and shapes of seed pods, leaves, flowers and bark, you are often surprised by the appearance of birds, insects, marsupials and reptiles. These aninmas blend so prefectly, they often go unnoticed. Two children venture around a garden and numerous animals are sighted hidden amongst the Australian landscape.
Suitable to read aloud to pre-schoolers or for independent readers of all ages. All proofs benefit Myall Park Botanic Garden
