This big book is all about the indigenous wildlife that can be found in the waters of Australia, displayed in big, beautiful aboriginal artwork. In the making of this book, Mike’s 16-month-old daughter Annabella, wouldn’t leave him alone. She wanted him to read it to her again and again. Annabella loves the clown fish, the “ark” (shark), the "gong-gong" (dugong) and the naughty fish (anglerfish). Like Annabella, this book will teach other kids to name sea creatures as impressive as dugongs, whales and more! Written, illustrated and printed in Australia. Big Book size: 42cm x 30cm. 16 pages.
