    Deep in the forest, an ancient wonder is about to be found. Descended from a family of trees going back 200 million years, the Wollemi pine has survived ice, fire and the passing of many generations. Will a bushfire be the final threat to this living fossil? And how will we protect it, now that everyone wants a dinosaur tree? How can we make sure the Wollemi’s secret location is not discovered and damaged? Wollemi: Saving a Dinosaur Tree explains the unique and critically endangered status of the Wollemi pine and explores what actions can be taken today to contribute to the conservation of this rare and beautiful tree. Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 6 to 9.

    With a glossary, information and a timeline in the back matter, as well as engaging illustrations by @rachel.gyan this is a fascinating look and it important Australian story. An example of a narrative, non-fiction book that @csiropublishing do so well. " - Lucy (lovefourreading) "Rachel Gyan's full page brightly coloured illustrations beautifully convey the gorge where the trees live in the wild and the dramatic firefighting scenes. The text concludes with a glossary, taxonomy, and species information. The final endpaper is a timeline from prehistoric times until today. This is a good introduction to a fascinating topic for young readers." - Lynne Babbage (CBCA Reading Time) "This is another remarkable publication from CSIRO Publishing shining the spotlight on yet another unique Australian creature so that our youngest readers can start to build their awareness and knowledge or the amazing things we share this landscape with, and hopefully, with that knowledge and awareness, become its protectors." - Barbara Braxton (The BottomShelf)
