Dung Beetle on a Roll

Reviews

"Dung Beetle on a Roll offers skilful illustrations and surprising insight into the fascinating world of these small but important beetles."
Karys McEwen, Books + Publishing, 25 June 2024

"The illustrations are masterpieces of close up action, colourful and detailed. I know we are talking about poo, but these illustrations are beautiful with a subtle blending of tones and hues."
Mia Macrossan, Story Links, 23 October 2024

"The lively narrative and warm illustrations zing with humour."
Sandy Binga, @aussie_kids_books (Instagram), 1 October 2024

"Dung Beetle on a Roll includes plenty of fabulous dung beetle facts, and will have young readers keen to look for these creatures in the world around them, and to discover other insect species."
Sarah Steed, Kids' Book Reviews, 2 August 2024

"Stealthily concealed amidst the humour and the completely adorable illustrations is, of course, lots of factual information about fabulous dung beetles and how they help the environment. There is also some terrific information in the backmatter, plus a bonus maze in the end papers"
Sue Warren, Just So Stories, 30 July 2024

"An informative and highly accessible book that has striking illustrations showing considerable detail that perfectly complement the text. The clever title and the front cover are delightful and will appeal to younger readers. The ingenious use of two different maze activities on the front and back endpapers are an added bonus."
