What your licence includes

Everything, on every device

Five digital picture books

The complete One Small Bilby series, following a greater bilby through real Australian habitats — desert, wet season, burrow ecology and more. Written for Prep to Year 2 readers.

🎬

Narrated video editions

Every title as a fully produced read-aloud with Australian narration. Ready for mat time, library sessions, relief teachers and quiet corners — no preparation needed.

Why it fits

Built for the conversations you are already having

Bilba is a real animal doing real things. The greater bilby digs real burrows, shelters from real weather and lives in a real part of this country. Nothing in these books asks a child to believe something untrue about Australian wildlife.

That is the whole editorial standard, and it is why the series works as well in a science conversation as it does at story time.

Real animals. Real science. Real heart.

Questions

The things people usually ask

What format are the books in?

PDF for reading and printing within your site, plus fixed-layout ebook files. The videos stream in any browser, so they work on an interactive whiteboard without anything to install.

How many devices can we use?

As many as you like within your licence. A Whole Site licence covers every device at that address — whiteboards, tablets, laptops and staff computers.

Can we show the videos to a class?

Yes. Group viewing within your site is exactly what the licence is for, including library sessions and assemblies.

Can we print the notes and pages?

Yes, for use inside your school or centre. The licence does not cover selling printed copies or sharing files with other organisations.

Do you invoice, or take a purchase order?

Both. We are an Australian business and can issue a tax invoice against your PO on request. Just say so in the form.

Can we see it before we commit?

Yes. Ask for review access in the form and we will send you a full title and its notes at no cost, with no obligation.

Request a quote or review access

We usually reply the same working day. No obligation, and no follow-up unless you ask for it.
