Hatch

What kind of animals lay eggs? Where do they lay them, and how do they look after them?
Meet some of Australia’s incredible egg-laying animals. Starting at the sea, Hatch takes us on a journey inland and underground, to the treetops high above, and back down to a waterhole, till finally we reach the sea once more.
With detailed and vibrant illustrations, Hatch provides a glimpse of these amazing egg-laying creatures, the unique habitats in which they live and how they look after their young.

Heidi Cooper Smith has always held a love and fascination for animals, particularly those that could be found in her own backyard. Growing up in the bush on a diet of David Attenborough documentaries, she wants to help foster this appreciation in the next generation.
