Reviews
""HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. An awe-inspiring and educational book about an Australian prehistoric giant surviving in a harsh environment and ready to start a new family. Especially for budding palaeontologists."" michelleguzelauthor (Instagram), 11 December 2023 ""Children will be enchanted and awed by this story of giants, dangers, survival and dramatic change on the continent they know as Australia. [...] As always, CSIRO have produced a marvellously engaging, high-quality book of reliable scientific knowledge. "" Kevin Brophy, CBCA Reading Time, 25 November 2023 ""This is narrative non fiction at its best, providing both a compelling story of danger and survival, and a fascinating exploration of the Ice Age environment in Australia. The narrative works in perfect harmony with the stunning two page spread illustrations. There is further information and a glossary of terms at the back of the book for curious young readers."" Aussie Kids Books (Facebook), 16 December 2023 ""This picture book belongs in every school classroom and library. There's so much to explore here. Diprotodon: A Megafauna Journey allows readers, young and old, to learn about the world in a way they might not have before"" Better Reading, 4 October 2023 ""This narrative non fiction story introduces students to these ancestors of the wombat while opening up so many other worlds to explore such as the creatures it shared the continent with and their evolution to those we know today"" Barbara Braxton, The Bottom Shelf, 25 October 2023 ""The author's passion for her subject not only guided her narrative but her determination to make this information available to young readers in an accessible and interesting format.""
