Tap, tap, CRACK!

Three stripy chicks hatch ...

After patiently incubating his mate's eggs, Cassowary Dad must raise the chicks alone. Cassowary Dad nurtures, teaches and protects his chicks. But looking after three chicks is not easy. When a cyclone tears through their rainforest home, will this devoted dad be able to save his family?

A heart-warming tale about the magnificent Australian cassowary.

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
