Join zoologist Chris Humfrey as he dives headfirst into the fascinating
watery worlds of Australia’s shorelines. Discover amazing creatures and
learn about their classification, adaptations, habitat and ecological
niche, plus loads of quirky fun facts. Get up-close and personal with:
Brown Sea Algae, Eleven-armed Seastar, Purple Sea Urchin, Brown Sea
Cucumber, Southern Hermit Crab, Elephant Snail, Pot-bellied Seahorse,
Blue-ringed Octopus, Great Spider Crab, Port Jackson Shark, Little Penguin,
Waratah Anemone, Slender-spined Porcupinefish, Southern Biscuit Seastar and
Weedy Seadragon. Chris says “Marine creatures don’t always receive the
attention of their ‘landlubber’ counterparts” but his engaging and often
hilarious writing style turns an animal which at first appears ordinary
into the extraordinary! For instance, did you know that the father seahorse
gives birth to the babies and keeps the young a pouch, just like a
kangaroo? Or, amazingly, that the venomous blue-ringed octopus has a beak
it its mouth just like your pet budgie, only with a toxic saliva sting! Or
that half the planet’s oxygen, which is essential for our survival, is
derived from the likes of macro algae in the world’s oceans? Packed with
stunning images the book is suitable for both younger and older children.
The information ties in neatly with the school curriculum, and the use of
fun and engaging scientific language and stunning images will encourage
your ‘animal-mad’ child to read the book again and again!
