From Gary Young's review "An Antechinus in the Attic offers up so many names and words to discover and explore and is a wonderful springboard into the world of Australia’s exotic animals, birds, insects, reptiles and flora. It is as informative and educational as it is witty and fun. So much to explore! I’m off to find out about the brush-tailed Bettong and the silver headed Antechinus!” GARY YOUNG
