$15.00
Jack and the Shy Tasmanian Devil Book Five Not all devils are fierce. Some are simply misunderstood. Jack and the Shy Tasmanian Devil is the fifth book in the Highland Animal Adventures series, inviting young readers back into Tasmania�s Highlands to meet one of the island�s most iconic�and often misunderstood�animals. When Jack notices signs of a Tasmanian devil near the edge of the bush, he expects something loud, scary, or wild. Instead, what he encounters is quiet, cautious, and unexpectedly shy. Watching from a respectful distance, Jack begins to realise that the stories he�s heard don�t match what he�s seeing. As the devil carefully moves through its environment, Jack learns that shyness can be a form of strength, and that animals�like people�deserve to be understood for who they are, not who we assume them to be. Through patience and observation, he discovers how important it is to give space, to listen, and to let trust grow slowly. This gentle story introduces young readers to real Tasmanian devil behaviour while softening common fears through warmth and empathy. Set against the familiar landscapes of Tasmania�s Highlands, the book reinforces the idea that nature thrives when it is respected, not rushed. Perfect for shared reading or early independent readers, Jack and the Shy Tasmanian Devil encourages compassion, curiosity, and confidence�especially for children who may see a little of themselves in the shy but resilient devil. Perfect for: Children aged 3�7 Families who enjoy gentle animal stories Early learning centres and classrooms Young readers learning about Australian wildlife Bedtime stories that reassure and inspire Themes explored: Shyness as a form of strength Respect for misunderstood animals Patience, empathy, and observation Confidence through understanding Jack and the Shy Tasmanian Devil reminds readers that bravery doesn�t always make noise�and that sometimes, the quietest creatures have the strongest hearts. To understand the wild, you must first slow down. And when you do, it has so much to teach.
