On a Bushwalk

Little Worlds #3

By Andrea Rowe

Yellow sunlight peeking through …
That’s how a bushwalk welcomes you.

Little people love to explore little worlds! Discover the glimmering colours and hidden wonders of a bushwalk in this beautiful board book for our smallest nature-lovers, from the CBCA Award–winning creators of Jetty Jumping.

Read and explore the world around us, with these other wonderful titles in the Little Worlds series:

  • In the Rockpool
  • Amid the Sand Dunes

WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK WONDERFUL:

  • BELOVED & TRUSTED SERIES: Little Worlds is an acclaimed Australian board book series, with the first two titles in the series named Notable titles in the Children's Book Council of Australia Awards.
  • NATURE-LOVERS FOR LIFE: On a Bushwalk is the third book in the series, following In the Rockpool and Amid the Sand Dunes, with each title encouraging gentle exploration of the world around us.
  • EARLY-LEARNING CONCEPT: Each book in the series also focuses on a different early learning concept – Rockpool looked at numbers, Sand Dunes explored sounds and in Bushwalk readers can delight in the world of colour.
  • A BEAUTIFUL GIFT: The cased board book format is perfect for little hands, and the glittering, foiled cover makes the perfect gift at any time of year.
  • BESTSELLING AUSTRALIAN CREATORS: Andrea Rowe and Hannah Sommerville are the CBCA Award–winning duo behind Jetty Jumping, which has become a beloved modern classic.

PERFECT FOR:

  • Babies, toddlers and young pre-schoolers – our youngest nature-lovers!
  • Parents, teachers and carers looking for board books that introduce core early-learning concepts (such as counting or colours), but that are also a beautiful read-aloud with lyrical text by an award-winning author. 
  • Parents, teachers and carers looking for books that celebrate the Australian landscape.
