I am a Magpie, I am a Currawong

The most recent in Bridget Farmer's bird book range for children and included on the Children's Book Council of Australia's shortlist for best information book Eve Pownall award.

From magpies to currawongs, from finches to thornbills, this hardcover book introduces readers to a few little details to look out for when in Australian gardens and parks, on the beach or in the bush. It is a book about noticing, and the more you look the more you see in the natural world around you!

Perfect for preschoolers discovering birds in their neighbourhood, or for early readers learning through rhyme and repetition. Printed on sturdy recycled paper, with thick pages. Its compact format is ideal for little hands.

Illustrated using hand coloured drypoint etchings this CBCA-shortlisted book is both a visual and educational delight.
