Beschreibung
Rustle. Something small hops out of the bushes and looks right at you. Round fuzzy ears. Chubby cheeks. A tiny smile. It's a quokka, the happiest looking animal on Earth. Most kids have never heard of a quokka. But this little marsupial from the islands of western Australia has become one of the most talked-about animals on the planet, with good reason. It carries a backup baby in reserve while one joey grows in the pouch, can go days without drinking because its food keeps it hydrated, and hops through the dark in zigzag bursts that leave predators completely confused. "The Nature Kid's Guide to Quokkas" takes children ages 7-12 to sunny Rottnest Island, where more quokkas than people roam freely around an island where cars are banned. Written for Level 2 readers in short, confidence-building sentences, this book explores how quokkas build secret runways through thick brush like tiny hidden highways, climb trees to reach the tastiest leaves, and even paddle across streams when they need to escape. The world's happiest animal has a wild side worth knowing. Your child will discover that a newborn joey weighs less than a single raisin, that quokkas can bring food back up to chew a second time just like cows, and that a group of 150 quokkas shares their space without a leader because every quokka is equal. These gentle, smiling survivors are also in trouble, and learning their story is the first step toward helping them. Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kid's Guide series. This little smiling marsupial is ready to be their next favorite.
