"""a beautifully-drawn, 96-page exploration of our nation and the differences between cultures in each state and territory."" - Sydney Morning Herald ""amazingly illustrated picture book ... learn about famous Australians, the type of weather, iconic buildings ... explore endangered and endemic animals, local food and hidden bush tracks"" - Educate Empower, ""dares the reader not to start at the beginning. Every page turn is a surprise and opening at random is an exciting way to experience this smorgasbord of words and pictures."" - Sunday Telegraph ""the love for Australia beams out from every page."" - My Book Corner ""Australia Illustrated is the kind of book I loved as a child. So many details to notice and enjoy. Each double page spread has so much to see and think about. The illustrations capture the imagination and present Australia as the diverse, interesting, quirky, and beautiful land we know it to be."" - Kid's Book Review ""Big, beautiful, and diverse"" are the words McCartney uses to describe Australia, and they are the very words that could describe this book. It is big and it is fat (criteria important to some of our junior readers); it is beautiful with colour, iconic illustrations and few words; and it's diverse with its focus on a range of topics that don't usually feature in these sorts of texts. Each page is a vibrant explosion of colour and movement that celebrate our places and people in quirky ways."" - The Bottom Shelf ""In a myriad of symbolic pictures, a range of iconic symbols represents all things Australian... the text provides opportunities for students to explore multiple layers of meaning"" - SCAN Magazine"
