Australia's Baby Animals

From underground burrows to treetop nests, and from sandy beaches to riverbeds, Australia's unique landscapes provide homes for baby animals to live and thrive in.

Here is a celebration of the animals that are born in this incredible country, including Snubfin Dolphin calves, Pygmy Possum joeys, Rainbow Lorikeet fledglings, Huntsman spiderlings, Thorny Devil hatchlings, and many more.

Come and take a closer look at the adorable baby animals and their habitats across Australia, from one of our best-loved picture book creators.
