The Bushwalk

The Bushwalk is a delightful offering which aims to encourage children to explore the natural environment, especially within Australia. The text focuses on what the narrator (presumably the author, visible in one picture as a pair of booted legs walking on a path) sees and hears on regular bushwalks. Each page includes a fact about the wildlife pictured, written on leaves, rocks and pieces of bark. The illustrations present realistic, softly toned watercolour images of the bushland inhabitants in double page spreads.
A wonderful classroom resource, this is also suitable for home reading.

Sandra Kendell is a visual artist who has a great affinity with the Australian environment. Her first book Quoll explored the plight of the Quoll and sold over 6000 copies in Australia.

Sandra grew up on a farm with a bush block at the back where she first encountered some of the animals in this story. Camping holidays further developed a love of native animals and environment. She now lives in the Northern Territory and her favourite thing is ‘going bush’ with her partner and two daughters.
