Bridget Farmer - The Beach Birds
A riddle-filled treasure hunt for shorebird lovers!
From sandy shores to rocky estuaries, The Beach Birds invites children to guess 12 Australian coastal birds through playful rhymes and hidden flaps. Each page features a riddle and an illustration; lift the flap to reveal the bird name hiding beneath.
Designed for ages 2-10, this interactive book encourages bird recognition, poetic play, and early science literacy. Informative pages at the back include bird facts and tips for spotting these species in the wild.
Illustrated using drypoint etching and hand-coloured with watercolour paint. Printed on sturdy recycled paper, this is a joyful beachside companion for curious young readers.
"I adore this book! It has everything, empathy, information, rhythm and rhyme, playful (and informative) flaps and a dedication to birdlife which I'm sure readers will be sure to imbibe. I certainly did. Thank you so much for the work that you do. We are very pleased and proud to include your book in our collection." Dr Belle Alderman AM. Emeritus Professor of Children's Literature. Director, National Centre for Australian Children's Literature, University of Canberra.
