Eke the Echidna

What is an echidna? Is it a hedgehog? An anteater? Some kind of walking potato? Follow your field guide Eke as he traipses through the Australian bush and demonstrates some of the wonderful characteristics of these unusual Australian animals. Just please avoid being distracted by platypuses… they love the attention.

Peter Cowan shares many traits with Eke the Echidna. He is friendly, inquisitive, and only sometimes a bit prickly (mostly when waking up). When not writing books about unusual and unique animals, he works as a primary school teacher in Saskatchewan, Canada. He shares his home with his husband, Leo; his dog, Grizzly; and cats, Riggs and Kimchi.
