'A vibrant, fully-fledged and friendly alphabet of Australian birds, including counting, life cycles and seasons, by Tasmanian author and illustrator Monica Reeve, author of Bug Soup Beat (“Highly Recommended” by the Children’s Book Council of Australia), Pecking Order? and Camping Chaos - all published by Forty South Publishing. Suitable for children aged three and up, and for ornithophiles of all ages.' (Publication summary)

'Monica Reeve’s third book with Forty South Publishing is a rollicking true story set on the wild west coast of Tasmania. It took place during the author’s idyllic childhood in the 1980s. 

'Camping trips are usually buckets of fun, however some can quickly descend into chaos (especially ones that involve supposedly scary and dangerous Tasmanian wildlife). This is the story of a family camping trip that has never been forgotten. 

'No snakes (or people) were harmed in the creation of this story.'

'With fancy feathers, enchanting songs, 

stunning crests and noisy chatter; 

Each bird tries to be the best. 

But wait does it ever really matter? 

'Join the journey of a colourful group of birds as they discover and embrace their place in life.'

Have you ever wondered what creepy crawlies do at night?

Sliding, rolling, creeping,

marching to the beat;

one hundred bugs are dancing

to the night-time bug soup beat.
