<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Did you know that Australia is the only continent that is also a country? Or that one-third of Australia is a desert? Learn more about the continent of Australia, from its people and cities to its landforms, economy, and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Australia is the smallest continent, known for having the largest coral reef in the world. But did you know that Australia is the only continent that is also a country? Or that one-third of Australia is a desert? Learn more about the diverse continent of Australia, from its people and cities to its landforms, economy, and more.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>From the striking full-color satellite cover images to the engaging text, informative maps, and high-quality illustrations, every aspect of these titles conveys the basic themes of geography to introduce the continents</strong>. Each volume opens with an interesting fact and locator map, followed by chapters about the continent's countries and cities, landforms, climate, and animals, natural resources, peoples and cultures, and economies. Coverage isn't comprehensive; rather, the authors use iconic examples, such as Carnival for South America, emperor penguins for Antarctica, and the pyramids for Africa. Topics are illustrated with large color photos, and there are at least five informative maps per book, a major strength. Captions provide information or ask comprehension or critical thinking questions. VERDICT: <strong>Solid choices for elementary collections.</strong>--<em>School Library Journal, Series Made Simple</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br>
