  1. Hello Mrs Whittaker,
    Thanks for commenting on our blog 🙂
    There are so many interesting animals here in Australia – some of them we had never heard of until we started looking for animals that started with a particular letter of the alphabet :-0
    Keep watching for more animals (and more letters).

    Do you have a blog we could visit to see what you are doing?
