BLURB:
People need homes, so developers move in and strip bushland to build new suburbs. BUT our Aussie wildlife needs a home too. When the bushland goes, they have move out to find new homes untill the trees in the new suburb are mature enough to provide for them. This rhyming story, with ineractive elements, pleads with folk to leave wildlife corridors, so humans and critters can live side by side and thrive!

FIVE STAR REVIEW:
Wildlife Corridor by J.R. Poulter/Tomomi Sarafov is an entertaining story.
The author handles a relevant topic effectively. The illustrations are wonderful and they breathe life into the scenes, making the story come alive for readers. It is an excellent storybook for interactive sessions in classrooms and school libraries as it speaks about saving the environment and wildlife, and tells children how to do it. Parents can also [use it to] discuss with their children the importance of trees. The rhyming verses give the book pace, movement and a lyrical feel. It is a good idea to introduce children to books like this at a very young age. The illustration at the end shows how a tree home [is] beneficial.
