Malleefowl Magic
An Activity-Based Program for Primary Schools

"Children instinctively understand the value of the natural world. But they need to learn about it in some detail if they are to know how to protect it. This book does just that. It is both practical and imaginative and I believe it could be a major factor in ensuring that the marvellous malleefowl gets the protection it so badly needs."

Sir David Attenborough - excerpt taken from his personal support message to Malleefowl Magic

"Ask a child to name an endangered animal and he or she will probably give an answer such as 'tiger'. This package hopes to encourage in children knowledge and pride in Australia's own animals and awareness that many of them are endangered, too."

Susanne Dennings, coordinator, Malleefowl Preservation Group Inc., 2001

The Mallefowl Magic Resource Book
