Description

Jan Ramage, illustrated by Ellen Hickman

From the break of dawn to nightfall, the tuart is not as it appears.  Leaves and bark, trunk and branches – all are places of pretence, traps and trickery.

Find out what surprise a moon crater might hide and why a bullseye borer drills holes; how a crab spider goes shopping and a jewel beetle becomes a seedpod; why a dragon wears a beard and how a gecko talks. And meet the mad hatterpiller , who does a very clever hat trick.

Tuart Dwellers celebrates the diversity, colour and ingenuity of the natural world.

Short listed for the Children s Book Council of Australia – Eve Pownall Award and Winner of the Wilderness Society of Australia s Environmental Children s Book of the year award.
