Fabulous Animals series.
Both books begin with European settlers landing in Australia and seeing "strange animals" for the first time, then trying to determine what they are. Indigenous Australian legends are also touched on. The flow of information isn't always straightforward, but eye-catching photos and accessible texts give readers a sense of these creatures and their special features. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Fabulous Animals titles: The Story of the Kangaroo and The Story of the Platypus.
