Long-time readers of My Little Bookcase will know that I am a huge fan of Frané Lessac’s work, and her latest book is not only a feast for the eyes but is also a great work-out for your general knowledge.
Using the alphabet, Frané takes you on a glorious tour of some of Australia’s most unique locations, from Rottnest Island in the west to Bondi Beach in the east (…and she hasn’t missed out a single state or territory). The illustrations are characteristically rich and the facts presented on each double-page spread are simply fascinating. A is for Australia is a beautiful way for kids to investigate our wonderful country.
Cammy and Ike haven’t ventured too far from home yet, but after reading A is for Australia they are quickly accruing a very long ‘To-See’ list. In fact, we’ve got a little trip to Western Australia planned soon and, thanks to this book, we’ve specifically hired a car so we can fit in a day trip to Fremantle.
