My Little World by Julia Cooke & Marjorie Crosby-Fairall
Sssh, be very still. It helps if you are small (if tall, bend down quietly) – look closely and carefully and you will see a world of insects and plants that most people miss. For budding young naturalists, this book is a delightful introduction to Australian creatures and plants not normally featured in children’s nature books. The enchanting rhyme and exquisite illustrations invite children to explore the beauty and variety of their environment. The author’s notes offer more fascinating information and direct the reader back to find things they may have overlooked. For ages four and up.
