Living in . . . Australia: Ready-To-Read Level 2 : Perkins, Chloe, Woolley, Tom: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Did someone else notice the error? - Did someone else notice the ostrich on the cover? Well my 3 years old told me, what is an ostrich doing in Australia? I believe they wanted to place an Emu or maybe I might be wrong but a huge white and black bird like this one hard to mistake. We purchased the whole series but we are dissatisfied there is misinformation on some books and one it's completely different from the series "Egypt" be aware, this book is about muslim religion from beginning to end and incites your child to repeat some muslim phrases. What I found totally strange it's the fact that religion is not mention in the Italian nor the Indian book so, why to place religion in the Egypt book and if they are doing so, why not to place the whole picture and accurate history or why not place some religion facts in the Italian or Indian, too weird isn't it? I'm not saying anything against any belief, but deff I don't like brain washing especially at this young age, picture this "the kid has the whole series and only finds out about muslim and a great deal of it (almost the whole book!), conclusion for him if there is not religion at home, Muslim is the religion". The whole series doesn't present religion but one. The Mexican one, well, it's not that big of the deal but quesadillas aren't quite like that, those are the American's version of quesadillas. The idea is quite lovely and I felt in love as soon as I saw them, however, they are not very accurate. Review: Tolles Buch. Geniale Bilder für Kinder mit vielen Tieren und Eindrücken von Australien in einer Geschichte zusammengefasst. Der Text ist in Englischer Sprache.

Did someone else notice the ostrich on the cover? Well my 3 years old told me, what is an ostrich doing in Australia? I believe they wanted to place an Emu or maybe I might be wrong but a huge white and black bird like this one hard to mistake.

Papier très mince. Comme un petit journal. Très intéressant et bien illustré. Il y a trop de texte pour un bambin mais serait idéal pour un jeune écolier. Facile à lire.

I LOVE this series. They are written from the perspective of a child in that country, with a variety of family types represented. They all include an overview of what their day is like, what school is like, as well as cultural, historic, and geographic info, with some pronunciation help where needed. I like to read the same one every day for a week, and my son notices and latches onto a new detail every time. We often end up Googling some question that the text brings up.
