A delightful counting book of Australian animals by acclaimed indigenous artist Bronwyn Bancroft, this stunning picture book has lizards hissing and wallabies hopping
One platypus diving
Two brolgas dancing
Three koalas dozing
Four crocodiles snapping
Five kookaburras laughing…
The book is both a delightful introduction to the numbers one through 15 and a unique exploration of Australian wildlife – some familiar, others more unusual. The animals featured include sugar gliders, emus, geckos, wallabies, and many more.
