A rare handfish’s growing concern for the environment sees him make an arduous journey from the Derwent River. Through whimsical rhyming verse and beautifully hand-drawn illustrations, this story highlights many of the island’s lesser-known rare and endangered species. Fat Chance is a poignant reminder for children of all ages, as to the importance of preserving Tasmania’s wildlife. Despite the dire circumstances the animals find themselves in, there is an engaging and positive message of hope for young and old alike.
