Steve Parish:  "As a kid, I spent as much time as possible exploring the natural world around me and discovering all I could about these special places and the amazing animals that live there. I found that taking photos was a great way for me to "capture" an animal and keep it so I could study in close-up what it looked like and how it behaved.
Years on I'm still just a big kid who loves getting out in Australia's wild habitats and taking photos. I hope that through my photographyyou too will discover more about the great outdoors and be inspired to get out there!"

Our range includes Activity Books, Fact Files, How To Draw Books, Sticker Books, Early Learning ABC, 123, Shapes, Colours and Time Board Books, and simple Story books.

AUSTRALIAN NURSERY RHYME & AUSTRALIAN VERSE FOR THE YOUNG
are 2 large hardcover quality publications each comprising of over 50 full colour pages, printed in Australia for a truly Australian long-lasting gift in both form and content.
The Author’s note:  “We are living in a world spinning out of control, with many of the old-fashioned values fast disappearing.  The very fabric of human society seems to be coming apart.  Today’s world demands much of the young, rushing them through childhood with little time to establish real values. 

It is our sincere wish that these books will bring some knowledge and some pleasure to our young readers while giving children a glimpse of yesteryear Australia. We have included a helpful glossary.
