Animalia
A fantastical alliterative journey through the animal kingdom with thousands of alphabetically arranged images and ideas to discover along the way, from An Armoured Armadillo through Great Green Gorillas to Zany Zebra’s Zigzagging in Zinc Zeppelins.

Eye to Eye
Imagine you could soar high in the sky with an eagle or dive into the deep with a majestic blue whale.
Come eye to eye with some of nature’s most impressive creatures as Graeme Base takes you on a richly illustrated journey of imagination and possibility.

The Last King of Angkor Wat
A timeless fable full of adventure and beauty from a much-loved storyteller.

Tiger, Gibbon, Water Buffalo and Gecko are sitting amongst the ruins of ancient Angkor Wat, wondering which of them would have made the best king. The appearance of a mysterious visitor leads them to discover their true selves in a race to distant hilltop.

The Eleventh Hour
When Horace the Elephant turns eleven he celebrates in grand style by inviting his friends to a splendid party. There are games, fine music, and the promise of a magnificent feast to come. But little does Horace know that when the time comes for the birthday banquet, a most curious mystery will be revealed. None of the eleven animals is above suspicion when the clock strikes The Eleventh Hour.

Moonfish
The fish that live in the pond beneath the dragon-moon are happy. They know the moon will keep them safe. But it was not always like this … There was a time when they looked to the skies with fear.

  • Are these paper back? Or hard backs? Loved these books as a kid.

    • would safely assume paperback. I had a paperback animalia & 11th hour as a kid. Stood the test of time.

      • Ive got Animalia and another one in hardback mate.

        They are all hardback. Solid books.

    • Bought these from Aldi before and definitely paperback.

      • +1

        Need to correct myself: They are indeed hardbacks. The Where's Wally collection were paperbacks. My bad!

      I bought these from Aldi a couple of years ago and they were hardback.

    • Full size or smaller in size do you think? Have one that is around A5 in size making it hard to find all the hidden stuff.

      • +2

        Hard to imagine this book in anything but full size. Why would they bother printing anything smaller?

        • The A5 versions were given out as part of a Daily Telegraph promtion a few years back where you could collect a set of 20-odd childrens books, including Animalia.

          • @Ganderflax: This is definitely an odd children's book. UK papers are always giving out stuff like that. It used to be mini vinyls, then CD albums, then DVD movies. It's basically the only reason anyone reads a newspaper in England.

    Met Mr Base in the early 2000s.

    A true gentleman.

    Let's see if Amazon matches the prices of these books.

  • These will be paperback for this price. Hardcover is usually around $23.

    I believe the spot books will be hardcover for only $6 each!

      All these in Aldi are hardcovers, mate. You're right, their RRP is around that.

  • loved that show

  • What is the recommended age group?

  • For a 4 pack of others in the series, keep an eye out for AusPost.

    Just bought these from ALDI Kogarah . Definitely hardcover!! Pleasant surprise. Grabbed them all including his new ones that I haven't grown up with but looked worth a shot for $6

    • Can you comment on the new ones yet? I've been debating whether to get them.

      • My six month old was quite wtrnaced by "eye for an eye". It's very much for the younger kids is Animalia rather than 11th hour. Very happy so far with it for that purpose.

        Moon fish is for the older kids, a bit Tim Burtoneseque.
