A Kid's Guide to Australia

Great book for young children about the Australian animals. Especially our grandchildren living in the USA

Wonderful to introduce children to Australia. My son's teacher grew up in Australia and was homesick, we bought her this to share with her kids and it brought so much happiness to them!

The child loved learning a out Australian animals

Nice reading for children 4 to 8.

My students loved this book

This is a cute informative and easy to understand book. Great for kids who want to learn about all things Australian. Great pictures.

The "Where in the World Is Australia" page gives a map of that section of the world, and references New Guinea, which is not very helpful for western hemisphere kids who likely don't know where New Guinea is. No map of the greater world as reference. Discussion of the Great Barrier Reef doesn't show or tell where the reef is (I would need to look it up myself) Ditto for Kangeroo Island, which is discussed, but location not shown. The cities are placed on the hard-to-read world map, but not on the full page map of Australia showing the territories. Again, this would have been helpful. Last couple pages of the book and back cover are to promote their website and other books. All in all, it's got some basic info and is missing much other info, even for a basic level.

Book has terrible quality, low-res pixilated pictures. Looks like this might be a print on demand title and perhaps the wrong files were used? Not sure, but this isn’t up to publishing standards. I now see similar complaints in reviews of other books in this series. I didn’t keep it long enough to evaluate the other content, I returned it because of the low-res pictures. Save your money.
