The Perfect Hollow by Cate Storey & Sarah Matsuda
Greater Gliders are uniquely Australian, gum-leaf-eating, fluffy, gliding marsupials that live in hollows in tall eucalypt trees.This fun, rhyming story follows one Greater Glider’s search for the perfect hollow, with some scary, hairy and amusing adventures along the way.While light-hearted and fun, The Perfect Hollow is also gently educational, introducing children to the importance of quality habitat and tree hollow homes.The endangered Greater Glider is just one of over one hundred Australian mammal species that depend on tree hollows for shelter. Tree hollows also provide homes for over ninety Australian reptile species and more than thirty Australian frog species. More than one hundred Australian bird species nest and raise their young in tree hollows. Both adults and children can learn from the range of wildlife hiding in tree hollows at the end of the book, with images annotated with common and scientific names.
