Summary
  • "Picture book about creatures and natural environment in a tuart forest. From the break of dawn to nightfall, the tuart is not as it appears. Leaves and bark, trunk and branches - all are places of pretence, traps and trickery. Find out what surprise a 'moon crater' might be hiding and why a bullseye borer drills holes; how a crab spider goes shopping and a jewel beetle becomes a seed pod; why a dragon wears a beard and how a gecko talks. And learn about the clever hat trick of a hairy little creature called the 'mad haterpillar'. Tuart Dwellers celebrates the diversity, colour and ingenuity of the natural world."--Provided by publisher.
