More Info "I adore this book! It has everything, empathy, information, rhythm and rhyme, playful (and informative) flaps and a dedication to birdlife which I'm sure readers will be sure to imbibe... We are very pleased and proud to include your book in our collection." Dr Belle Alderman AM. Emeritus Professor of Children's Literature.

Next in the series of my Australian bird books is The Beach Birds!

The Beach Birds consists of twelve riddles for readers to guess which Australian native bird, commonly found on beaches, estuaries and coastal areas, is being depicted. Lift the hidden flap on each double page to find out the answer. I hope that by interacting with the riddles and illustrations readers will soon familiarise themselves with these beautiful birds and find enjoyment in seeking them out while at the beach.

Suitable for ages 2 to 10. Young children will enjoy being read to and finding the lift the flaps, older children might enjoy answering the riddles and the more detailed info at the back. 

Information about each bird can be found at the back, as well as a few tips for birding and helping with identifying your spottings!

The illustrations are all created from dry point etchings which have been hand coloured with watercolour paints.

This book is self published using my own publishing label - Black Cockatoo Books

I also have a CARD GAME to go with this book (see separate listing.)  

Birds included in this book - Silver Gull, Crested Tern, Hooded Plover, Eastern Curlew, Pied Cormorant, Pied Oystercatcher, Masked Lapwing, Red-necked Stint, Pacific Gull, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Bar-tailed Godwit and Beach Stone-curlew.

Amazing quality

These books are so gorgeous. They have a very nostalgic feel, like a book I would have when I was a kid. I love how you can write a name in the front. 🩷

I gave this to a grandson and he immediately sat down to read quietly by himself

The Beach Birds

A beautifully illustrated and informative book. My grandkids will now have all three sets of cards and books and I’m sure they will get to know and recognise birds from the knowledge they gain from reading the book.
