Description

Meet wetapunga, long-time resident of Gondwanaland, Planet Earth.

Learn about the modest, unassuming lifestyle of this ancient insect — what it eats, where it lives, how it keeps safe and defends itself.

Intensely rich illustrations and a measured, poetic voice beautifully capture its real-life story.

This is the second book from Annemarie Florian in this series introducing threatened species. Her book Kiwi: the real story won the Children’s Choice Non-Fiction award in 2013.
