    I received this beautiful book also in my hospital bag. This book has beautiful drawings showing the beautiful arts of the aboriginal culture.

    I love the bright colours and how attractive it is to my little girl.

    i want a nursery filled with these beautiful pictures

    One of the books included in my daughter's "Gladys Bag". Pretty indigenous illustrations and a suite of Australian words.

  • Elizabeth K.

    This is nice, Australia-specific (for the most part) nature words to illustrate the alphabet letters. I, the parent, enjoyed this because it's a little different from the usual alphabet books, and the illustrations are wonderful. Lu, the 11 month old, seemed only mildly interested.

    My mom is really fond of wombats, so when I saw this book on
    50books_poc of course I had to check it out.

    It's definitely Australian, including some animals I'd never heard of -- goanna (a kind of lizard) lyrebird, numbat (a kind of anteater), quokka (a marsupial), unicorn fish, yabby (the picture looks like a lobster, but
    technically it's a crayfish --
    apparently the main difference is that lobsters are saltwater and crayfish are freshwater? and lobsters are bigger).

    It technically skips X, which is forgivable.

    I don't love the sort of pointilism art style, but I'll probably get this book for the nibling 'cause my mom will love having a book with a wombat.
