Marsupials

I have to rave about an amazing photographer—Nic Bishop! His photography has been featured in over 20 dazzling non-fiction picture books, focusing on animals, insects, arachnids, and nature. I previously highlighted his book Chameleon, Chameleon. Nic Bishop is both author and photographer of three books on vertebrate animals—Frogs, Lizards, and Marsupials. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book! Mr. Bishop captures amazing shots of animals in their natural habitats. The text is engaging and fascinating. Facts about each animal’s diverse habitat, diet, life cycle, and habits are captivatingly revealed. As I read them, I was in awe of God’s staggering creativity. I thoroughly enjoyed each of these books.

Marsupials

I learned there are over 200 different marsupials, many with unique characteristics. There are gorgeous pictures of koala bears, wombats, and kangaroos. Lesser known marsupials are included like a numbat, Tasmanian devils, a quoll, a fat-tailed dunnart, and a bilby. Witness frame-by-frame in a double-page pull out as a sugar glider leaps from a branch, soars through the air, and lands safely. View kangaroos wrestling and a baby koala resting on her mother’s back as she sleeps. Every page is a wonder!
