[LM_NET] High School or Middle School librarians

A few years ago I had a group of teachers that liked to bring their
classes in to research Australian animals. I never had enough print
resources and when I finally got some money, I tried to find some books
to support this project. I was amazed to discover that even though I had
money, I couldn't find books to buy. Most of the books in print were for
elementary age.

I would like to find some good books for my library and I might possibly
explore this lack of literature for a graduate class I'm taking, so I
have two questions:

Do any of your teachers do research projects on Australian animals?

Do you have adequate print resources?

If so, what kind of print resources do you have that specifically
address Australian animals. I'm especially interested if you have books
on a single animal, such as echidna or platypus, rather than a book that
includes multiple animals of Australia.

Thanks!
