It's Too Hot! A summer story that follows a vibrant cast of Australian birds as they find clever ways to stay cool on a scorching hot day. From dawn to dusk, the heat settles heavily across the land - the leaves droop, the ground cracks, and every creature is seeking out a cool spot to see out the day. Across the country, birds call out in chorus, "It's too hot!" Cockatiel flaps to a shrinking waterhole for a splash and a sip, while tiny Fairy-wren darts into deep shade to escape the heat. Magpie seeks out a dripping tap for a refreshing drink, and Kookaburra nestles into a leafy branch, watch...
It's Too Hot! A summer story that follows a vibrant cast of Australian birds as they find clever ways to stay cool on a scorching hot day. From dawn to dusk, the heat settles heavily across the land - the leaves droop, the ground cracks, and every creature is seeking out a cool spot to see out the day. Across the country, birds call out in chorus, "It's too hot!" Cockatiel flaps to a shrinking waterhole for a splash and a sip, while tiny Fairy-wren darts into deep shade to escape the heat. Magpie seeks out a dripping tap for a refreshing drink, and Kookaburra nestles into a leafy branch, watching a lizard below. Emu dozes in the dust, waiting patiently for the heat to ease, and Galah tucks herself into thick, cool branches to dream of evening play. Through gentle rhyme and engaging illustrations, young readers learn how different birds adapt to Australia's hottest days - resting, hiding, hydrating, and waiting for the relief of sunset. When twilight finally paints the sky pink and the breeze returns, the birds burst back to life. They sing, flap, laugh, hunt, dance, and play, celebrating the cool change that closes a long, hot day. This cheerful, nature-loving story reassures children that even the toughest days have an end - and that, like the birds, they too can find comfort and joy again once the heat fades.
