Focus on “Jack want’s a Pet”

Where did the story come from?

My grandchildren live in Australia and while visiting there and reading stories to them one of the books we read was “Dear Zoo”, it gave me the seed of an idea that perhaps I could write a story about Australian animals. I have enjoyed wildlife watching in many countries around the world and I find Australian animals strange and fascinating and totally different to anywhere else. From marsupials, such as the Kangaroo and the cuddly Koala to monotremes {egg laying mammals} the Platypus and the Echidna. The story is an ideal starting point for children to learn about Australian indigenous animals.

Read the story and celebrate Australia Day on 26th January.
