ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Animals need to move about their landscapes for various reasons, but when settlements and habitat clearing get in the way, how can they move safely through the land?

This gently informative book shows why animals travel, and shows some of the solutions to the problem. Virtual fences, tunnels, wildlife corridors, safe places for hiding, bridges – all these are explained.

Brightly coloured illustrations by Anne Noack tend towards the cartoonish, but are accurate enough. The back of the book contains more information and a glossary and is good for early primary aged readers.  Lindy

Creatures are on the move!
Wild animals often travel to find food, shelter or a place to breed. But this is becoming more difficult and dangerous, as construction and land clearing are affecting their habitat.

Creature Corridors follows kangaroos, koalas, birds, fish, crabs, cassowaries and lizards through wildlife corridors that exist across forests, rivers and seas. These corridors provide paths and spaces for them to move around safely. Discover how we can share our world with animals in this delightful and engaging story.

""Nature abounds and is moving around us constantly. But in the modern world it is easy to forget that wildlife often can’t reach the places to which they most need to go. This beautifully illustrated book is an ideal introduction for enquiring young minds to learn more about the variety of our precious wildlife and what they need to simply 'get around'."" -- Gary Howling * CEO, Great Eastern Ranges * ""This delightfully illustrated storybook is not only a pleasure to read, but packs in a solid dose of connectivity science without the mumbo jumbo. It is the type of fun and effortless environmental learning our kids need more of."" -- Tandi Spencer-Smith * Head of Communications & Partnership, Great Eastern Ranges * ""Billie Rooney’s educational picture book, Creature Corridors, explores how human infrastructure impacts animal habitats and highlights the role of wildlife corridors in helping animals travel and live safely."" -- Angela Meyer * Books+Publishing *
