Lessac provides an A-to-Z look at Australia's "unique" and "amazing" creatures. Most spreads highlight one or two animals (e.g., E is for echidna and emu) with a basic sentence about each at the top and smaller-type details incorporated throughout the vibrant-hued gouache illustrations ("A baby echidna is called a puggle"). Appended with a page of thumbnail maps showing where in Australia each animal is commonly found.
