Young animal enthusiasts will discover a world of interesting words from the animal kingdom – from arachnid, to biped, to crustacean – in this fully-illustrated book.

This brilliant vocabulary builder brings together 100 fascinating words to describe animals both great and small, each one chosen to delight, surprise and inform natural history fans aged 4+.

Artwork from bestselling illustrator Monika Forsberg brings to life twenty full spread scenes. Each double page spread is set in a different habitat and features five interesting words chosen by a natural history expert, together with a seek-and-find game on every spread. At the bottom of the page, a short explainer gives the meaning of each ‘interesting’ word.

Through engaging with new words, young zoologists will develop their understanding of the natural world and expand their vocabulary, which studies have recently proven to be the biggest indicator of a child’s potential later in life.

  • Explore animal lifecycles with words like ‘larvae’, ‘spawn’ and ‘nymph’
  • Understand the classification system with words like ‘reptile’, ‘mammal’ and amphibian’
  • Discover animal behaviours with words like ‘shoal’, ‘hibernate’ and ‘migrate’
  • Learn what animals get up to with words like ‘pollinator’, ‘bioluminescent’ and ‘camouflage’
  • Simply delight in interesting animal parts with words like ‘proboscis’, ‘tentacle’ and ‘baleen’!

The back section of the book includes further information on the animal classification system.

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!
