Lorikeets Laugh Loud (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923750401)

As the sun begins to set and the sky fills with glowing shades of orange, pink, and purple, Ellie the curious ginger kitten and Ollie the gentle golden retriever set off on another unforgettable adventure together.

But their peaceful evening walk quickly changes when enormous flocks of rainbow lorikeets suddenly rush into the trees above them. Wings flap. Branches shake. Loud chatter fills the air.

Startled by the noise and movement, Ellie hides nervously behind Ollie, unsure about the colourful birds filling the treetops. But with Ollie's calm guidance, she soon begins to discover that lorikeets are not frightening at all - they are fascinating Australian birds with amazing behaviours and vibrant personalities.

In Ellie and Ollie: The Noisy Lorikeets, young readers will explore the lively world of rainbow lorikeets and learn incredible facts woven naturally throughout the story. Children will discover how lorikeets gather together in enormous groups at dusk, sometimes with thousands of birds sharing the same trees before bedtime. They will also learn about lorikeets' fast flying abilities, their bright colourful feathers, and how they use their curved beaks and special tongues to drink sweet nectar from flowers.

As Ellie's fear slowly turns into curiosity, children are gently encouraged to understand that sometimes things seem scary simply because they are new or unfamiliar. Through warmth, reassurance, and friendship, Ellie learns to see the beauty hidden within the noisy evening trees.

Perfect for preschool, kindergarten, prep, and early primary-aged readers, this beautifully written educational picture book combines storytelling, emotional learning, and Australian wildlife education in a calm and engaging way that children will love. The gentle pacing and comforting tone also make it ideal for bedtime reading.
