I am preparing a short talk for a local group of Teacher-Librarians. I will briefly talk about some of the 2024 CBCA (Children's Book Council of Australia) short listed books especially the picture books but since many already have teacher's notes my focus will be on companion titles. I won't list resources here that you need to pay for such as Teachers Pay Teachers, Twinkle or TES. 


This list from Hardi Grant has links to notes for 

This link from Five Senses education will take you to teachers notes for 

Also, Five senses have links to notes for some of the Younger Readers titles, Eve Pownall and Hope is a Thing (New Illustrator)

Lamont have notes for all six Early Childhood books and all six Picture books plus links to publisher notes for other titles. Their page is well worth exploring. It is a very generous resource from Lamont. I highly recommend their standing order service
