Lost Leadbeater's Possum

More about the book

Mr and Mrs Possum were thought to be gone, sent running by logging, destruction and fire. But some scientists believed that there was a chance that they might come back, despite the crisis so dire. An unforgettably book set in verse, this beautifully illustrated text tells the story of the Victorian state faunal emblem - the Leadbeaters possum. Thought to be extinct, it was rediscovered and inspired great changes in the Victorian highlands that have protected its habitat. Written by Tim Faulkner, television star and head of the Australian Reptile Park - Gorgeously illustrated by Swedish- Australian artist Elin Matilda. Ages 0+
