DESCRIPTION:
Midwest Book Review said A charming and fun ABC book celebrating all things Australian, highly recommended. D is for Down Under: An Australia Alphabet lives up to its title as an alphabet book featuring all manner of Australian creatures and things. Whimsical color illustrations and amazing, fact-filled text sidebars enhance entries such as "It'll be quite the job, our letter J. / You'll be tending sheep on a long, hot day. / You'll raise them up and shear them, too. / For that's the job of a jackaroo!" A charming and fun ABC book celebrating all things Australian, highly recommended.. A beautifully iillustrated, information intro to Oz I bought this book for my son when we moved down under, and have not been disappointed! The light poetry is informative and captivating for him (was 5 when we got it, still enjoys it at 7), the additional optional paragraphs of detailed information feeds MY soul and intrigues him sometimes, too, and the illustrations are fabulous. Altogether a great introduction to Australia.. DB8Nice book DB8423 Very nice book, well illustrated. My daughter bought this for my grandson when she was leaving to study abroad in Australia so he would have a better understanding of where she was going. He is 9 years old and we thought this might be too young for him, but it's done very well and can easily span a large age group. Great book!.

What country holds the title as the world's smallest continent and yet the world's largest island? I stands for island, but one that's not too small. Originally founded as a penal colony, Australia has long been known for its contrasts (think: wild outback and sophisticated Sydney Opera House). His books with Sleeping Bear Press include the national bestseller A is for America: An American Alphabet. Just try to see it all! There's no place else quite like it; that is clearly true. Soon realizing he wanted to be an illustrator, he became a partner in the illustration studio All Australian Graffiti. Australia is a continent, but it's an island, too. Our island is enormous. Acco
