Overview

These individual titles are now available in a lovely boxed set to be sold in for Christmas. These books describe how, when the first European settlers arrived, they did not understand Australian animals. The stories revolve around misunderstandings about the animals – that the koala (bear) would drink milk, that the platypus breathed underwater like a fish; the white settlers didn’t know a wombat could dig and were astounded when they saw a kangaroo hop with babies in a pouch.

The animal tales series is made up of four books, each narrated by a different Australian Animal who finds itself in danger. Set in early settlement period of Australia the stories show what little understanding humans (called Uprights by the animals) had of native Australian animals.

Designed for young readers the books are beautifully produced and reminded me of the Beatrix Potter collection.
