Straying into the bush brings on an encounter with all sorts of creepy crawlies… and some even less friendly critters!

Playing on rhyme and sound, “A Butterfly Fluttered by My Eye” explores the perils of the Australian bush through the perspective of an over-inquisitive child who has wondered where they shouldn’t. A clever mix of cautionary and delightful, this story serves to immerse readers in adventure, while learning some key safety tips along the way.

Bold printed illustrations capture the sense of excitement, wonder… and danger too…

• A careful dive into the wonders of Australian nature – with a reminder not to go where you’re not supposed to.
• Rapid rhythmic rhymes give this story a sense of fast-paced adventure.
• Eye-catching print weaves rich textures and emotions throughout the pages.
