Here is another Australian book review from the middle of
the Aussie outback. This time I come to you from The Blaze Tree, or Maddigan’s
Camp 16, in the south east corner of the Northern Territory.
As I’m sitting here, the sun has just gone down over the
sand dune ahead of me, and the air temperature has fallen considerably. It’s
definitely time for my jacket and perhaps a nice glass of red before dinner.
Koalas, Kites and Kangaroos is a much loved picture book,
originally printed in 1985, that is now back in print. Gorgeous (predominately)
Australian animals introduce the alphabet, showing the uppercase and lowercase
letters, as well as some words that start with that particular letter. All of
the words used are of things included in the pictures and are fun for children
to find. There is also a list of words at the back, of other things in the
pictures that weren't listed on each page.
Written by David Ridyard, and illustrated by Doreen
Gristwood, Koalas, Kites and Kangaroos is a charming educational book for
pre-schoolers.
