Tasmanian Devils Level 25-26

Tasmanian Devils offers a compelling insight into one of Australia's most iconic and misunderstood marsupials. Written by Rod Morris, this non-fiction text explores the life, habits, and survival of the Tasmanian devil, an animal known for its loud screeches and fierce appearance. Through close-up photographs, maps, diagrams, and fact boxes, children will learn about the animal's life cycle, specialised behaviours, and the conservation efforts helping them survive threats such as disease and habitat loss. The book features a contents page, glossary, and index to support information navigation, along with specialised vocabulary that enhances subject knowledge. Ideal for fostering interest in Australian wildlife and environmental awareness, this book also supports skills in scientific report writing, research, and debating conservation issues.
