Did you know that spiders usually have eight eyes? Or that the Australian
yabby can remain dormant for up to seven years? Zoologist Chris Humfrey
delves into the fascinating micro world of Australia’s incredible
invertebrate creatures. Young readers will be taken on a journey of
wonderment, delving into the often overlooked world of insects, spiders,
molluscs and crustaceans, learning about each animal’s adaptations, habitat
and ecological niche in a book that’s packed with quirky fun facts.
Invertebrate creatures don’t always receive the ‘Pop-Star’ status of
larger, more charismatic animals, however Chris’s engaging and sometimes
hilarious teaching style turns an ordinary-looking creature into something
extraordinary! Chris says, “Every animal has a job to do in a healthy
balanced ecosystem. If we study, learn, and develop an understanding and
empathy for all creatures, we are more likely to want to conserve all
species”. Get up-close and personal with the likes of rhinoceros beetle,
bull ant, Hercules moth, giant water beetle and red- back spider. QR codes
link to bonus video content for each species and 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
over and over again!
Chris Humfrey is an Australian zoologist and television personality who has starred in his own series on ABC and Animal Planet. Chris shares his home in Macedon, Victoria, with 2,000 animal ‘housemates’ and takes his award-winning ‘the Zoo Comes to You’ mobile education program around the country, reaching 250,000 children each year.
