Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he Rescue Ark is travelling around Australia helping endangered animals! Watch the wombats, parrots, potoroos, quolls and many more make their way onto the Ark. This picture book, illustrated with wonderful collages, keys into the increasing awareness about our endangered animals by young children and their parents. Firstly, have fun tracing the Ark's journey on the colourful map of Australia and reading about the animals that will be collected on its way around the coast. Then, help the animals onto the Ark by singing or reading the rhymes. At the end of the book, find out if the Aussie children make the world safe for their animals again. In the back pages, learn more about these endangered animals in an easy-to-read fast facts text with photographs of the real animals. And don't forget to read the great endorsement on the cover of the book: "Kids are going to have a great time singing this lovely song and learning about the animals that need our help. The beautiful collaged illustrations and zoological notes at the back make it a perfect addition to any young nature-lovers library." Alison Lester This book has been road tested with preschool children in two schools, who were very excited by the introduction of animals that were not so familiar to them (e.g. potoroos) and by the idea of children cleaning up the earth to save the animals.
