What's your favourite animal fact? Have you ever wondered who discovered it in the first place? Chances are, it was a zoologist!

Join the scientists uncovering the secrets of the animal kingdom in this funny, fact-packed introduction to zoology. The Who, What, Why of Zoology is an exciting first book on this fascinating field of science. From the deepest oceans to Himalayan valleys, zoologists explore far and wide to better understand the worlds of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and nearly anything else that can walk, fly or swim!

Not only is this book filled with up-to-the-minute facts about your favourite animals, but it also goes behind the scenes and out in the field to show how real zoologists find out more about the creatures we know, and even discover new ones.

Each chapter dives into a different real-world environment to observe the animals that live there, then fills the scene with zoologists to explore how this exciting science actually works. Then, turn the page to learn about the modern mysteries to which scientists are still searching for answers. Every page is bursting with facts you've never heard before, as well as plenty of funny detail to keep you searching for hours.

With chapters including:
 

  • Tropical Reefs
  • Arctic Tundra
  • Deserts
  • Rainforests
  • Deep Oceans


... and many more!

The Who, What, Why of Zoology is the perfect introduction to an important STEM topic for readers aged 6-9, combining expertise from zoologist author Jules Howard with vibrant and humour-filled illustrations from Lucy Letherland. Bring science to life with this one-of-a-kind animal book!

Who is Playdreamers?

Playdreamers is a micro family business owned and operated by myself - mum of three boys, Hannah.

We launched from home as an online store in April 2019. I'd pack orders of an evening with two toddlers by my side, spending late nights adding products to the store and sourcing new items.

During the pandemic I nervously opened our first brick & mortar store in Forster, NSW and in 2022 welcomed a third son.

Fast forward to mid-2024 when a larger space in a sought-after location was calling my name. We relocated our tiny Forster store from a quiet street to the hustle and bustle of Wallis Street in Forster; just off the bridge into town.

I am excited to have welcomed Chloe, a mother of two girls and dear friend, to the team and adore our days together bouncing ideas off each other and sourcing treasures for the children in your lives.

I am so grateful you found us. Your support is incredible - we wouldn't be here without our wonderful customers. Thank you for being here.

Please join us on social media by searching @playdreamers to keep up to date with all the fun. And always feel welcome to reach out - we love getting to know you!
