UNREAL

Can you tell fake from fake? Guess which of the weird and wonderful exhibits are real and which are fake in this sumptuous collection of extraordinary animals and plants.

There's been a mix-up at the Museum - some of the displays from the Myths and Legends exhibit have snuck into the Natural History wing. We have to sort it out, but how can we tell fact from fiction? Chemical reaction from chimera? Monster from megafauna? Kids will have fun guessing which animals and plants are real and which are not in this extraordinary exhibition of the strange and wonderful animals and plants that inhabit our world ... and our imaginations. It also contains a brilliant guide to help us know what to look for when tracking down truths. (Essential knowledge for contemporary survival!) Also, another fun thing ... keep a close eye on the narrator! Kate Simpson is a picture book author including OUCH! TALES OF GRAVITY, podcast host and bookworm who loves facts and fiction in equal measure. She is also a chemical engineer who believes that curiosity can change the world. After completing an Illustration Degree at Bath Spa University in England, Leila Rudge hopped on a plane to Australia in search of the sunshine.

Since then, she has written and illustrated over 15 books two of which have been shortlisted for Children's Book Council of Australia, Book of the Year Awards. Leila lives on Awabakal land in NSW so she definitely found the sunshine.
