Puggle –Australian Nature Story by Catriona Hoy & Andrew Plant
Next time you are at the library you might like to search out this title.
Catriona Hoy is an author that I have liked in the past. Her book Grandad Marches on Anzac Day is one of the books I use for Australian Book Traveller. Now I have another of her titles that I recommend. It is called Puggle.
The story centres on a baby echidna that is taken to a wildlife carer. As Puggle is cared for and grows we also see sick animals nursed back to health. Over time each of the animals are well enough to leave. Some go back into the wild, others are found new homes.
Catriona does a great job of helping you connect with the animals without personifying them.
Andrew Plant’s paintings are realistically captured and vibrant in colour.
