Our Review…
Enchant your children with this beautifully rhyming journey through the Australian bush as we meet young baby marsupials or joeys exploring their wondrous worlds.
You realise what an extraordinary diversity of miraculous animals we have here in this incredible country we call home.
Renee Treml is the author and artist, and she accompanies her beautifully delicate drawings with age appropriate text and also scientific names for the adults below, so we all are nourished by her work.
Board book – suitable ages 2 onwards.

Beautiful book, lovely to read to a child and point to the pictures. I liked that each page gave the name of the animal to identify who the Joey belonged to. Very Cute and Sweet. Nominated for the Birth -3 y/o category of the Speech Pathology Book of the year 2023.

Simple text. Appreciated that each animal was labeled in the corner. Extra fun because our zoo has a joey kangaroo that we just saw.

This is good fun! I love that on each page it tells you the name of each joey.
