Book List: 11 titles. Author Info. This breathtaking book of photographs of a trip around Australia will capture readers' imaginations as they follow the path taken by Steve and Tiny, his dog.

The photos impel you to turn to the map at the front of the book, to see just where they went on their epic trip. Steve's photos tell a story of a man who goes off with only his dog for company, 'Let's go, matey', initially finding this enough, but as the trip goes on, other animals make their appearance, and eventually other people. His solitude is softened by the people he meets, until he says to Tiny, 'Let's go home, matey'. And the reader is satisfied that he has found some inner peace. The photos are absorbing, resonating with images of the Australian outback, vast red sand hills, low scrub, to the seemingly never ending roadway, and animals they meet along the way.

When he meets up with people, the photos come alive with possibilities, as Tiny likes to keep busy and help in the stockyards. But Steve doesn't seem to want to stay too long and so the pair moves on.

Eventually they move back home, blow the cobwebs out in the house and settle back in. The photos range from full page to several smaller ones on each page, but each will grab the attention of the reader as they pore over the details each reveal. Children will love finding clues in the text and photos to pin point the places on the map, and wonder again at the vastness of Australia, and the time it takes to get around.

The sparse text tells enough without being sentimental, we feel one with this lone man and his dog, searching for a peace that does not come easily. But his travels come full circle and satisfied, he returns home.

Vampire Gothic: An Avi Asher Novel by Jon Langione, Cathey Langione |, Paperback | Barnes & Noble®

A wonderful book to share when talking about being alone, about needing your own space, it also lends itself to talking about Australian people, animals and landscapes, introducing that topic in class, or simply as a stand alone book for kids to read about Australia. It is rich and absorbing and I see more in it each time I open its pages.

Fran Knight. Piccolo Nero, Age: This is a timely book for Australian children who may well be feeling distressed about the bushfires that are currently raging across the Australian continent and the subsequent plight of native creatures.

The reader learns about how zoo-keepers, biologists, scientists and other people including citizen scientists and children are working together to understand how to conserve these vulnerable Australian animals. In each chapter, the reader finds out about how people who work with these creatures have come to love them with all their quirky and endearing characteristics. Each chapter describes a particular animal's physical characteristics and behavior.

The narrative is engaging, stories are told, fast facts are given, a particular random fact is highlighted on a page for each animal and each chapter concludes with a page entitled - "What can I do to help? Although some of the information on the status and risks to the animals is upsetting, Flynn is positive and the young reader is encouraged, invited and shown how to be proactive about the issues.

This gives the young person a sense of efficacy rather than hopelessness. Ninja Bandicoots and Turbo-Charged Wombats addresses the cross curricular priority of Sustainability. The classroom teacher can easily read a chapter or two as a springboard; the Science teacher would find this a useful and engaging resource for Biology.

Fascinating details about all these creatures are revealed through the stories of the people who work to conserve them. An excellent, interesting, fact-filled and appealing resource book for ages Wendy Jeffery. Orion, c Westwind was originally published in and was forgotten by most. But Rankin did hear from readers on occasion, who liked Westwind and so made a decision to revise and reissue. Westwind is a thriller set in the s when satellite and computer technology are still a little mysterious to most. Martin Hepton works in a tracking facility, with its latest target Zephyr a British satellite.

It has been successfully launched from the shuttle Argos, but Argos has come down with loss of all but one life, the only Brit in the crew. This is a time when, as now the political situation is unsettled. The Americans want out of Europe, however there are many both in Britain, Europe and the US who think the move fool hardy. Hepton and another of the trackers, Paul Vincent, think there is something odd when they loose contact for longer than is normal with Zephyr.

Hepton's sense of unease grows when Vincent is suddenly taken ill and removed to a hospital. Dreyfuss, the lone survivor from the shuttle finds himself in an American hospital isolated, drugged and fearful for his future. He hopes for some help from the British Embassy, but it seems a long time coming. Add to the mix a rather beautiful assassin, MI5, MI6 and US intelligence and the odd body the action ramps up as does the intrigue about what is happening and who is behind it all.

Westwind in the end is a reasonably satisfying spy come tech thriller. Those geeks into the latest technology may find it a bit lame, but for a Luddite like me it was fine. This is not a Rebus novel, Edinburgh is not its setting, but I can see why there was a push to reissue.

There are parallels to situations now in the UK and Europe so perhaps a timely reminder of what may happen when politics goes wobbly.

Themes: Thriller, Crime, Spies. Mark Knight. Penguin Random House UK, Age: Preschool Recommended for fans of Peppa Pig series.

Then Mummy Pig takes the children to the beach, where Miss Rabbits tells them about fossils. Little did anyone believe that George would discover a huge dinosaur fossils hidden in a big rock. What a stunning find! As always, the book is illustrated in lovely bright colours and fans will love the sight of George dressed in khaki, carrying a magnifying glass and looking very professional as he searches for dinosaur bones. Children will learn about fossils and the different names of dinosaurs as Miss Rabbit takes the children along the beach, and they will have lots of fun making up a name for the dinosaur fossil that George has found.

A good choice for a read aloud, children will love the connection to the TV characters. Text, This deeply emotional narrative is told by Liberty, who draws us into her life as her family seems to her to be crumbling. When her father decides to leave his family, his two daughters are devastated. His wife seems to accept his choice as an expected one, and he assures them that his decision is for the best. It would be a wonderful book for both adolescent readers and adults, particularly parents and indeed for those who teach them, and is highly recommended for its beautiful writing and compelling sense of the important things in the world.

We learn about the world as perceived by Liberty, and we are drawn into her significantly intellectual rationalisation of their situation as she shares her world with the planets, the moon and stars, and most interestingly, with a meteorite that she found when it fell to earth. The wisdom that she grasps from this other world, and that she draws on from unexpected sources, helps Liberty to understand her situation and to cope with the changes. Liberty's shining intelligence adds a special glow to the narrative, and as she relates the events, we are privileged to read about her daily life that is perceived through her astonishing level of understanding of the universe.

Quirky personal statements that only Liberty can hear, by a star, or a planet, or the moon, or even ordinary objects, imbue this work with a certain something that lifts it out of the ordinary. Through her devotion to our planet, that is at the heart of her world and this narrative, her love and fascination with the universe, and her love of the environment, we realise that she is determined to make sense of her new situation.

Glittering with emotions, both positive and negative, this exceptional story is as entertaining, evocative and brilliant as the world of stars itself. Teacher's notes are available. Elizabeth Bondar. Scholastic, In a world where he sees creatures with two legs or four or six and eight, even twelve, Three hops and skips through life, wondering at the creatures he sees, hoping that they stay safe in the city where he lives. He is pleased that those with six legs live underground away from the stamping feet, happy for the eight legs to live in webs above the traffic; he is thankful he has no more legs than he can count, and is happy his legs are no longer than they need be.

But one day he skips out of the city to a place where there are fewer cars and here he finds animals with four legs and two horns, a bird with two legs that lays eggs, a furry animal with two large ears and even larger feet. But his best find is Fern a girl who gets down on her hands and knees and lifting one arm, pretends to have three legs, just like Three. She introduces him to other creatures he has not seen before: a hopping two legs, a flying four legs and even a no legs. Fern takes him inside to meet her mother and brother and together they make four. This is a gloriously endearing book, one that will make every reader feel warm inside.

The story of friendship is outstanding. Fern and her family take Three in without question, he readily becomes part of the family, eating pancakes on Saturday, dressing up with the brother and singing with Fern. He has filled a spot in their lives just as he has found a family to call his own.

And the rounding off of his three legs to make a foursome is a wonderful image for the readers to think about. Counting the legs on the animals will tickle younger readers, as they take in Three's lack of a fourth leg, noting that he can do what he wants without the benefit of a fourth leg.

They will thrill at the creatures in the story, working out what animal they may be from the number of legs, taking note of where they live. King's detailed streetscapes, reflect the city through buildings and cars and people, but also the little animals that Three spots under the gaze of the people walking by.

It begs the readers to look more closely at their environment, urging them not to miss things that are going on beneath their feet. In the country setting too, readers will begin to notice more than the text offers as they peruse each page more closely.

This multi-layered story with its wonderfully evocative watercolour illustrations, will be a often repeated read-aloud in homes, classrooms and libraries. Piccadilly Press, I actually feel like writing a story now, so I will have this on my shelf in class so kids and I can use it as a reference. Bet it would get kids writing and enjoy doing so. I think every classroom should have a copy.
