Kookaburra by Sarah Legge Pdf

Laughing Kookaburras are the largest kingfishers in the world, and Blue-winged Kookaburras are not far behind. Their size and distinctive shape and posture make them easily recognisable; their comical and personable characters make them readily memorable. They are able to live in a wide variety of habitats, and adapt to living around humans relatively well. This cheerful familiarity has caused them to figure prominently in the psyches and folklores of all peoples who have inhabited Australia. Kookaburras live in family groups marked by the extremes of social behaviour. Whilst in the nest, chicks fight their siblings for dominance and food so aggressively that the smallest chick is often killed. In complete contrast, many adult kookaburras delay their own breeding in order to help their relatives raise young. Kookaburra: King of the Bush provides a complete overview of kookaburras and their unique place in Australian culture and natural history.

Hearts Are Not Ticklish by Rich Baron Pdf

Life in the land of Desmonia, despite the fact that each person possesses the ability to fly, has become completely regimented. Rules are automatically adhered to; the King's mysterious illness is never questioned; all jobs are dutifully performed; even the pursuit of fun has become routine. Interestingly, the citizens of Desmonia are very content with this complacent, uneventful, rule-regulated life style... During her first flying lesson, a ten year-old girl unknowingly violates one of Desmonia's oldest, most obscure rules. When the girl, as a result of her action, faces the cruelest of punishments, the typically upbeat mood in Desmonia takes a somber turn. Will either the esteemed Professor Swatit, torn between conscience and compassion, the King, struggling within a world of private torment, or the citizenry, all-accepting in their response to authority, be able to save the girl? Or, does this child have to suffer a horrible fate before the stagnation that has gripped Desmonia becomes a thing of the past?

Kookaburra Tales #1 by Moh Ana Pdf

At dawn in a beautiful fantasy land, Kookaburra's laughter announces the arrival of old Mr Sun, whose golden fingers begin to gracefully dance on the sunflower family, causing them to straighten and reach for his revitalizing warmth. Suddenly, the tallest of the sunflowers notices something falling from the sky. Netting the object on her face, she sends it rolling down her family's spiral stairway, right into a nest created by the bent grass blades. Incubating the egg in their own special way, the grass and flowers create protective layers to shelter the unborn from a looming storm. With the wind fiercely howling pass during the terrible thunderstorm, Kookaburra realises that the flowers and grass need help. He swoops in and saves the egg, just in time! The next morning, a tiny chick hatches and soon grows into healthy fledgling, tenderly cared for by his hosts. As the bird seeks adventure in search of his own kind, Kookaburra, the sunflowers and grass wonder if their bond is strong enough to entice him to return, back into the warm embrace of their loving home. In this vibrant children's story that comes alive with enchanting illustrations, the value of love and life is encapsulated through nature as an orphaned bird learns the true meaning of family and home.
