This specially commissioned artwork was created by DJ Mate, an award-winning contemporary Aboriginal artist. DJ Mate was inspired by the traditional stories of the Dharawal People as told by Frances Bodkin in her book The Annual Cycle The Season of Ngoonungi. Start your journey on the left side of the box as the Ngoonumgi, the Grey-Headed Flying Fox, gather in vast numbers as the sun sinks below the horizon. Then we follow the possum footprints to the front panel of the box as the snarling, growling sounds of their nocturnal battles can be heard. Finally, as we move to the right side of the box, gentle rains are falling. Restrictions on eating crabs, yabbies, shellfish, prawn and lobsters are lifted and feasting on the beaches occurs. A description of each illustration and its significance is included on the back so you can share this beautiful story with your class. The Seasons Book Box is ideal for storing your Indigenous resources, learning about the environment or simply adding some beautiful Australian colour to your classroom or library. Includes 5 of these beautiful boxes each measuring 17cmW x 25cmD x 28cmH (at back) and 17cmH (at front).

Beat The Bear is played in a similar manner to traditional lotto. There will be lots of fun and excitement as the team of three children selected one card at a time from the top of the deck. If a player picks up a card that matches a 'single sound' on his/her board, it may be placed in the correct position. Be careful, each time a piece of the bear is turned over, it must be put on the bear's board. Once the picture of the bear has been completed, the race begins in earnest. The bear has now won the game, unless one of the three players can successfully complete his/her board before the remaining cards have been turned over. Beat The Bear will provide  delightful way for beginner readers to reinforce their recognition of the following single sound - b, c , d, h, l, m, p, r, s, t. 4 durable mats 25cm x 33.5cm. 81 laminated playing cards are included in a sturdy storage bag.
