Creatures are on the move! + Full description
Wild animals often travel to find food, shelter or a place to breed. But this is becoming more difficult and dangerous, as construction and land clearing are affecting their habitat.
Creature Corridors follows kangaroos, koalas, birds, fish, crabs, cassowaries and lizards through wildlife corridors that exist across forests, rivers and seas. These corridors provide paths and spaces for them to move around safely. Discover how we can share our world with animals in this delightful and engaging story.
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
- Short descriptionReviews
"Nature abounds and is moving around us constantly. But in the modern world it is easy to forget that wildlife often can’t reach the places to which they most need to go. This beautifully illustrated book is an ideal introduction for enquiring young minds to learn more about the variety of our precious wildlife and what they need to simply 'get around'."
Gary Howling, CEO, Great Eastern Ranges
"This delightfully illustrated storybook is not only a pleasure to read, but packs in a solid dose of connectivity science without the mumbo jumbo. It is the type of fun and effortless environmental learning our kids need more of."
Tandi Spencer-Smith, Head of Communications & Partnership, Great Eastern Ranges
