A Journey around Australia by Alison Lester is worth reading just to look at the illustrations. I have seen pictures of Australia and have viewed the scenery on television, but these illustrations seem to add a bit more color and life to the great Down Under.
This is a story of a family and its travels around Australia and it is an easy read for most children I would say over the age of 6 or 7. Again, the exposure to this culture is great for the little ones because they are able to create a schema about the world outside of the United States and how other people live differently than we do.
