The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Australian Friends is a good sized board book. With flaps!
In this book you'll take a journey across Australia and some of its different environments. From below the sea and at the seashore, to the rivers, rainforests and outback.
Rhyming text describes the look and feel of the places, and asks the reader a simple question about who lives there.
Lift the flaps to uncover the animals who are hiding behind rocks, in trees, and in the water. There are three flaps on each double-page spread, and fifteen in total.
The illustrations are all bright and colourful, and the animals are easily identifiable. They include hermit crabs and a platypus, plus lizards, parrots, kangaroos, and others. You might just be able to spy a hungry caterpillar as well.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Australian Friends is perfect for young children as an introduction to animals and the environment, or as a simple and enjoyable reading activity.
