The Numbat Puzzle Summary

Quick — name an Australian animal. Kangaroo? Koala? Thought so. Meet Australia's most endangered marsupial with a superpower all its own and the two Tasmanian tigers helping to save it.

When Timothy and Teresa, Tasmanian tiger twins, answer a animal distress call, they find Ned the numbat curled up sick inside a hollow log in the eucalyptus forests of Western Australia. Ned thinks he's been eating the right food — but something is very wrong. Can the twins use their knowledge of Australian wildlife to crack the Numbat Puzzle before it's too late?

Perfect for curious kids aged 4–8, classroom nature units, and anyone who loves animal adventure stories that are as educational as they are fun.

— How numbats get their favorite food

— Why numbats are endangered and what people are doing about it

— The teamwork superpower of thinking AND doing

— Australian animals and ecosystems brought to life

Ideal for children ages 4 to 8.

Great for: curious kids, classroom nature units, homeschool science, learning to think before you act, bedtime stories, road trip audiobooks, adventure books for early listeners, storytime favorites

From the eucalyptus forests of Western Australia to the rainforests of Tasmania, the Tasmanian Tiger Twins are on the case.
