Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a charming and beguiling picture book that deftly describes some truly strange features of these remarkable Australian birds found in bush and backyards." - Darryl Jones, author and brush-turkey expert.

A charming, insightful, and sweet story that not only teaches children fascinating facts about bush-turkeys, but also valuable life lessons about resilience, perseverance, and self-acceptance. Told through simple text and beautiful, bold illustrations, Bush-Turkey Needs a Friend will leave readers feeling joyful and inspired. A highly recommended read for children preschool-aged and over.
    Elizabeth Kater, Children's librarian at Concord Library, NSW, Australia

    From the Author

    Two books, two aims.

    Aim 1 comes from my heart as a mother and teacher: to teach children that being different is okay, that it can take time to find a friend.

    Aim 2 comes from my love for brush-turkeys, unique Australian birds that I have studied for many years. They are loved by many but hated by others, because they tend to damage gardens and backyards when building car-sized incubation mounds out of soil and leaf litter. This is an unusual incubation strategy found in very few other birds.
     
    This first book is for children, the second one is for grown-ups and titled "Amazing Annoying Birds - Living with Australian brush-turkeys".

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Dr. Ann Göth has always been a traveler with a wanderlust for places where nature reveals its amazing beauty and hidden wonders. She now lives in Sydney, Australia with her husband, son and two budgerigars, where she settled down after a Heidi-like childhood in the Austrian mountains and having moved across the world.

    While studying Biology in Austria, Ann and her boyfriend took a two-year break to venture to Tonga in the South Pacific, where the two explorers hoped to help save an endangered ‘volcano bird’ from extinction. Her newest book, “Volcanic Adventures in Tonga”, is a memoir and adventure story about this expedition.

    Since then, Ann has worked with mine detection dogs for the UN in Geneva and created displays for the Braunschweig Natural History Museum in Germany before moving to Australia. Here, her love of the ‘volcano bird’ lead her to study a related species, the Australian Brush-turkey. This bird uses a compost mound instead of a volcano for incubation. Fascinated by young birds that don’t need parents to grow up, she completed a PhD on their development and published the book “Mound-builders” with her PhD supervisor Prof. Darryl Jones.

    Life as a biologist lead her to jobs as a lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney and as a Threatened Species Officer for the NSW government. Nowadays, she aims to pass on her passion for nature and science as a high school teacher in Sydney. She also uses slide shows all over the city to convince Sydneysiders that brush-turkeys are fascinating and worth watching, even if they dig up people’s whole gardens in the process of building their mounds.

      I really love children's books written by scientists and researchers in their field. They are able to convey unique and useful knowledge in simple words through pictures and metaphors. I read this book about Tom Turkey with my young daughter and realized that it is very interesting for myself as well.
      This children's story introduces us to the bush turkey as an interesting species, showing us that we are all different and that's a amazing thing. It also teaches us how to make friends and take care of ourselves, which will come in handy for the rest of our lives.
      This is a wonderful beautiful book to read with our little wonders.

      Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024

      I enjoyed Dr Goth's style of presenting her lesson to her readers. Without preaching to us she taught us that this strange bird was very different from other birds as at birth mother birds responsibility to their hatchlings was over. Tom had to learn how to take care of himself all by himself. One can only imagine the death rate among these chicks much like new born turtles racing to the sea trying to avoid being eaten.

      Again without preaching at us, Dr Goth has taught us that it's OK to be different and that finding good friends takes time. These are two very important lessons for young children to learn as they develop their personalities.
      I hope this book is widely read even if your country has no bush turkeys, it does have little ones who need to be encouraged as they grow.

      Couched as a book on friendship, “Bush-Turkey Needs a Friend” provides an amazing amount of detail about the Australian Brush-Turkey while presenting it in a child-friendly manner. I felt sad that Bush-Turkey was rejected by other birds for being different. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and its lovely illustrations.

      I just loved this kids book and regretted not being a kid myself any more. The main message is that it is ok to be different, that it just takes patience to find a friend. The second message is how fascinating Australian brush-turkeys (also called bush-turkeys) are. I have never heard of these birds before - a bird that doesn't sit on its eggs to incubate but uses a mound of compost to incubate instead? Chicks that live by themselves from the moment they hatch and have to dig themselves out of those mounds? Just fascinating. My kids loved it!
