A foreword from Button & Squirt

I watched how my eldest was effected when he learnt about the Tasmanian Tiger.  He couldn’t believe that there was this animal that he loved and that he would never see because we led them to their extinction.  It made him understand how important it is to protect the animals we have and made him even more passionate about their conservation.  I want to bring that inspiration to lots of other kids too, whilst teaching them about some awesome animals that they may not ever know about without this.
