Free Easter Story Books for Australian Kids
March 10, 2008 1:19 pm ChildrensThe Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has a number of (free) environmental resources for Australian children. They have two Easter Bilby* books available for those living within Australia - The Easter Bilby and Easter Bilby’s Secret. I have not yet received my copies, but Easter is only two weeks away, so get on your bike!
* For those outside Australia, the government here has a campaign to replace the Easter Bunny with the Easter Bilby. The bilby is an Australian marsupial and is an animal we like, as opposed to the feral rabbit, which is pest in Australia. They look vaguely similar, and the bilby has the advantage of a pouch to carry eggs in. More information about feral rabbits here and bilbies here.
Are there any other free books available out there that you can recommend?
