This title is one in a series called ‘Animal top tens’, which should appeal to young animal lovers and is a great browse book for reluctant readers. Each title devotes a page opening to each of a number of unusual creatures within the region. This includes a short description of the creature and information on habitat, with a fact box giving brief data on their size, weight, life-span and unusual features. These facts boxes are repeated together at the end, so readers can make comparisons. The Australasian title includes pages on kiwi and tuatara.
Other titles in the series cover Africa, Asia, Europe North & South America, the Oceans and the Polar regions. All are well illustrated with photographs and each title includes a common list of reputable websites.
