The Bush Birds

Written and illustrated by Bridget Farmer, this little gem of a book depicts 12 of our Australian native birds. Each bird has a little riddle to give you a clue as to what it may be. Children can lift the flap to learn the name of each one. The back of the book includes a snapshot of each bird—a lovely way to introduce children to our native birdlife- perfect for a bushwalk. The illustrations are created from dry point etchings which have been hand coloured with watercolour paints.
