Praise For This Little Joey
“You realise what an extraordinary diversity of miraculous animals we have here in this incredible country we call home.”
“The simple rhyming text is delightful revealing one fact about each animal: This little joey munches on plants. This little joey crunches on ants.
A perfect little book to share with young children.”
