The Wild Buddies are warm-hearted African animal characters who solve problems and help each other. This series is full of energy and includes contexts young children can relate to, like muddy fun, races, sharing, and hide and seek. Playing, laughing and having fun together, the Wild Buddies are Herb the hippo, Gus the giraffe, Meg the bat, Zig and Jazz the zebras, and other animals they meet along the way.

Engaging, beautifully illustrated stories set around maths topics (matched to the Foundation Primary Maths curriculum and Oxford Maths programs), these books mirror the maths vocabulary and concepts that children learn in class. Supporting questions deepen maths learning and save the effort of teachers or parents.

This pack includes one copy of each book in the Stories for Maths Foundation Wild Buddies series.
