Meet the characters…

  • Red Footed Tortoise

    In this story, Hammy the red-footed tortoise takes on his fear of new places with the help of his friends Scratchy the squirrel and Ziggy the inchworm!

  • Hedgehog

    In this story, Hogsy, a hungry hedgehog, is struggling to find enough food to eat after the long, hot summer. This is a great story to inspire young children to care about wildlife visitors in their garden. Like most wildlife, hedgehogs are struggling to cope with the changing climate, and they are becoming an endangered species. Any little help could make a difference and make life easier for them.

  • Chameleon

    A colour-filled story about friendship, confidence and finding your 'true colors'. Camo the chameleon is used to blending in and in this book he learns how special it is to stand out!

  • Tarantula

    Terry the tarantula has a problem that only Darcy the duck can solve. In this story, these two strangers consider an unlikely friendship.

    This story teaches the value of trust and the characters in the story define what it means to be trustworthy: "Trustworthy means we do what we say. We are honest, true, and kind every day. We keep every promise and defend every friend. Then everyone knows they can trust us to the end."

  • Ball Python

    Hector, a young black snake desperately wants a friend, but learns quickly that others do not like him simply because he is a snake.

    The themes of treating others well, regardless of how they look on the outside, and being brave and selfless in frightening situations will resonate with the young reader and parents alike.

  • Blue Tongue Skink

    This story is about a young skink who loses it’s tail! The children will go on a journey with her to find a new tail as she tries on all sorts of options!

  • Giant Millipede

    Millie is a millipede and in this story she creeps her way through the pages, munching on food items as she goes! As she collects different colors we learn about their names and what colors we can mix to make new ones!

  • Leopard Gecko

    This is a fun story about a young boy’s adventure bringing home his class pet Lilly, the leopard Gecko!

  • Bugs

    This is the diary of a worm. This worm lives with his parents, plays with his friends, and even goes to school. But unlike you or me, he never has to take a bath, he gets to eat his homework, and because he doesn't have legs, he just can't do the hokey pokey—no matter how hard he tries.
    We bring out some soil bins full of live insects for the kids to explore and dig for!

  • Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches

    In this story we meet a cockroach named Pedro. He is brave, lovable and always looking for fun. Pedro loves Mexico but he wants to see the world. Amazing things happen to Pedro and his friend Enrico when they leave Mexico in search of adventure.

  • Hog Nose

    Get ready to shout, "Snake!" and do what Camilla the snake does when she is afraid. Kids will wiggle and giggle while they explore how we can become trapped in the fear of the unknown.

  • Scorpion

    This story is about an unlikely duo of a crocodile and a scorpion that live next to a river. One day, the scorpion realizes he needs help getting across the river and has to ask the crocodile to forget their differences.

    We may not be able to take the scorpion out of his cage; but the kiddos get a kick out of seeing it’s super power and taking a picture holding it’s cage!
