Abstract

We highly recommend the book “Wombat Poos are Square” written by Sophie Gillies and illustrated by Karen Erasmus, for young preschool children. This book is also excellent for school children (from five to eight) to read independently, for reading to younger siblings, or for an adult to read with children in their classroom/home. Both Patrick and Oliver found the book very funny and loved the illustrations. It is beautifully written and illustrated and provides scientific information about Australian native animals and their interrelationship with their environment in a fun and engaging way. The story takes you on a imaginary sensory experience, with the smell of eucalyptus or fish, feeling the coolness of a termite’s mound on a hot day and visualising the texture of squishy green duck poos, or poos sparkling in the sun.
