Schools’ Tree Day - Friday 26th July 2013

Children’s Authors join Taronga Zoo to get kids' beaks into reading!

Taronga Zoo has teamed up with popular children’s authors to bring books about animals to life. Book a video conference with Garry Fleming, Jan Latta or Aleesah Darlison from Literature Live! Hear a reading from the author, meet real animals and listen to fascinating stories behind the animals in the books. ‘How to draw’ workshops also available for some sessions.
