Rainforest Lullaby by Sally Odgers
Scholastic, 2013. ISBN 9781742838205.
(Age: 4+) Highly recommended. Rainforest Lullaby is a lovely
picture book using rhyme and images to show the sleeping Australian
animals. It is highly recommended for adults to read to children
aged 4+ and good for independent readers aged 7+.
Use the book to introduce a unit on Australian animals or to discuss
and write poetry with older children. It could be used to identify
rhyming words, recreate the story with different animals or add to
the story by imitating the author.
