Australia really is such a unique land, full of animals and geographical/cultural features so different from anywhere else.  This book follows the same format as other books in this series to do a pretty thorough job of exploring this exotic land for its readers: from A for Aboriginal people, to K for koalas, kangaroos, and Kookaburras, to V for Vegemite, and all the rest, short rhyming text for each letter of the alphabet give readers a broad and brief overview of the land down under; for readers who want more information, each letter’s page also includes a sidebar with several paragraphs of more in-depth text to further explain that topic.  The cartoon-like illustrations serve to both capture reader interest as well as support the text to describe ideas that may be unfamiliar to many young readers.
