30 Days Wild - Day 15

Today we learnt about Australian animals. Pickle was sent this book:


The Smallest Bilby and the Easter Games

I don't think it is available in the UK but it has a lot of different Australian animals in. We have talked about the obvious ones before, Pickle knew Koala, Kangaroo and Emu but there were a lot of animals in the book even I hadn't heard of before. 

We spoke about some of the animals and Pickle really wanted to find out more. We sat with our tablet and we went through each animal in turn and found out a little bit more about it. 
Pickle was particularly excited to learn that the Bilby pouch faces backward to prevent dirt getting in when it is digging. It was a lovely thing to sit and do together and both children learnt a lot about animals living on the other side of our beautiful planet.
