This beautifully illustrated children’s book encourages kids to talk about the smaller creatures in the bush. Written in fun and easy-to-read rhyme, the book covers the life cycle of beetles and looks at how beautiful and varied the Christmas Beetle can be.

“Where Are All the Christmas Beetles?” covers topics such as ecosystems and the impact of environmental change. Included is an information section for students to begin their research. This is a gorgeous book for primary school-age students.
