Exciting fiction, information books in the JNF Collection and J books for the beginning reader, the Primary Library has them all and is constantly updating the collections.

The Quentaris Chronicles

The Quentaris Chronicles contains books by different writers, each with their tales to tell of this city of infinite variety. Full of magic, mystery and adventure, each book explores Quentaris and its people and contains stories of peril and triumph, quests and discoveries, heroes and villains. An added feature is that each book is a stand-alone adventure, so you can start with any of the titles.

Explore Quentaris with these independent stories from some of our finest Australian writers, including Paul Collins, Michael Pryor, Isobelle Carmody, Pamela Freeman and John Heffernan. Twenty three Quentaris books are held in the Primary Library at JF QUE.

We also have many non-fiction such as What happens when wheels turn? by Daphne Butler at JNF 621 BUT.

Containing clear text and photographs that introduce wheels and a variety of machines that use cogs and other wheel- like items, this book is ideal for the inquisitive student. We have many children in Primary who love to know how things work, who invented it and wonder how they might be improved in the future. 

A popular favourite are the Dr Seuss books. We have a new copy of an old favourite Rhymes, Riddles and Nonsense by Dr Seuss, located in J SEU.

‘Packed with nonsensical rhymes, riddles and tongue twisters, this new paperback edition of a popular hardback brings together three of Dr Seuss’ most brain-teasing titles – Fox in Socks, The Cat’s Quizzer and Oh Say Can You Say?

With Dr Seuss’s unique combination of outlandish storytelling and bold illustrations, a host of characters is hilariously brought to life in this wonderful compilation. Young children will delight in the absurdity of the tongue-twisting riddles, the nutty nonsense of the mind-boggling quizzes and the irrepressible charms of the Cat in the Hat. Learning to read has never been such a riot!‘ (Publishers)
