I thought “Over in Australia” was a very cool book. I really liked the illustrations; they look like they are made with lots of different paper. 

This book would be good for kids who are learning to count. Each page has a number and you count the animals and look for a hidden animal. Kids can learn about counting and animals!

I think that kids from Australia would like to read “Over in Australia.” My favorite animal from the book is the koala bear. I never knew so many different baby animals were called “joeys” - I thought only kangaroo babies were called joeys.
