Living in . . . Australia: Ready-to-Read Level 2

Got this for my daughter who reads at a 3rd grade level. She loves the book. Her mommy is from Australia so this is a good way to introduce some facts about her country. The story is really cute and gives kids the differences of usa and aus

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.

I purchased this book and the Korea version as a gift for a 7 year old. She told me that loves both books and will actually read them. The pictures are nice and vibrant, too.

Little Ruby takes readers on a tour of Australia by letting them follow her around for one typical day. While at school the history and culture of Australia come up, and various other aspects such as local foods and past-times are incorporated as well. A great intro to the people and culture of modern Australia as well as a crash course in Australian history. Great resource for curious kids or lower grades studying Australia.

Great book. I have others in my classroom exactly like this but learning about different countries. This is great! Wish they made more.

My son loves all things Australia. So when I saw this book I had to get it. It was informative and easy to read for him all by himself. I recommend.

Get this book. Nicely informing about Australia for kids. Well written. I recommend this book for kids and teaching. Good.

I used this for an around the world class and it was great to give information on the country! We had fun and it was vibrant!

Tolles Buch. Geniale Bilder für Kinder mit vielen Tieren und Eindrücken von Australien in einer Geschichte zusammengefasst. Der Text ist in Englischer Sprache.

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.

Super mon fils à beaucoup aimé ce livre.

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.

This book is very interesting. My son love it
