Sharkpedia

Calling all shark trackers!…We’ll hit our favourite shark haunts and hideouts and study lot of different sharks…and, of course, those celebrities of the sea.. A combination of these words were the introduction to the book and they really packed a punch.  I was inspired to go on the journey with Professor John and study these mysterious creatures and hopefully to dispel some of my fears.

Non Fiction Books for Aussie Animals Theme

I am a big believer in children having the opportunity to read a variety of types of books, especially Non Fiction.   When choosing books for the Smarty Arty Aussie Animals kit I knew that it was most important to have non fiction books so that children could learn facts about the animals they made.  Reading Non Fiction books gives them a good knowledge base and an understanding of the animals around us.

Explanatorium of Nature

My words will not do this book justice, because I can barely find the words for the up-close photography gives you a look at animals and nature like you have never seen before.  The front of the book drew me in the first time I saw it, its beauty doesn’t just lie in its shiny cover though, the pages within are captivating and the information will keep you immersed for hours.
