I have often thought I would so enjoy the job of selecting books to sell in the shops you find in art galleries, museums, and even some botanical gardens. I do love to browse these small shops because they often sell very interesting and even obscure titles. This book Australia by Pete Cromer should be for sale in every Australian museum and art gallery shop along with every quality tourist shop. AND if you are looking for the perfect gift to send to a child in another country I highly recommend you hunt out Australia published by Five Mile Press (9781922385581). Pete Cromer does sell other non book products too.
In the school library we often talk about Non Fiction. Some children (wrongly) think a Non Fiction book has to contain photos. This book is a perfect example of a book you could share that disproves this assumption.
Every page in this book provides a few short sentences about the featured animal highlighting a curious fact or two and then in smaller print you can read the scientific name, discover a few more facts and see a small distribution map. There are eighteen Australian animals and birds in this book - wombat; kookaburra; platypus; black swan; koala; red kangaroo; budgerigar; and echidna for example.
Pete's newest book is Birdlife which is due for publication in May, 2022.
