'The Wheelbarrow Express is a heartfelt and rollicking tale about the special love between a grandparent and a child. It's Tommy's last day at Pa's farm and it's time to say goodbye. Tommy doesn't want to go. Not yet. He loves the farm and its playful pigs and clucking chickens and galloping goats and the dam that is deep and blue and perfect for skimming stones. And he loves Pa. But Pa has a plan: there's time for one last run on the Wheelbarrow Express. Toot! Toot! All aboard!' (Publication summary)

'A delightful addition to the Nature Storybooks series, The Echidna Near My Place tells the story of a child and their nana, and the echidna they love to follow around
'Nana and I walk through the paddock most days. And you know what? An echidna lives here. We don’t always see it. But I’m always looking for it.
'As a young child and their nana go for walks together, they follow a short-beaked echidna keenly observing and discussing what its life might be life. Learn with them about what echidnas eat, where they live, and how they protect themselves.
'A wonderful addition to the acclaimed and award-winning Nature Storybook series, which provides memorable reading experiences, combining narrative and factual forms.' (Publication summary)
