The team behind Dingo returns with a lyrically told, beautifully
illustrated exploration of another unique Australian animal: the
laughing kookaburra.
In the crinkled shadows,
night dwellers yawn,
day creatures stretch,
and Kookaburra laughs.
Kook-kook-kook. Kak-kak-kak. What is that sunrise chorus that sounds
like laughter? It is a kookaburra and her family, calling over the
river. Follow these iconic Australian birds as they search for food and
team up to defend their territory in preparation for the nesting season.
With rich paintings and poetic text, threaded through with intriguing
facts, Kookaburra offers insight into the lives of these fascinating
birds. Curious readers will find more information about kookaburras at
the end, as well as an index leading them back through the book to
explore these distinctive creatures more closely.
