Laugh again, Kinta! is suitable as a story for adults to read to younger children or for an older child to read themselves. Consideration has been made to children with reading difficulties, such as dyslexia, with font choice, generous line spacing and the selection of matt paper for printing.

With full colour illustrations, the gameboard-style timeline echoes the story. Laugh again, Kinta! also quietly conveys the theme of friendship as Kinta’s dragonfly companion joins him on his travels. Children will enjoy finding the dragonfly and joining in with the kookaburra laughter.

The book’s last page features information on kookaburras. If you have never heard a kookaburra laugh, watch and listen to the YouTube clip.
