(4) K-3 The appeal here is in the exciting photographs of many of Australia's unusual animals, including the fish and coral polyps of the Great Barrier Reef, the frilled lizards of the woodlands, the koalas of the endangered eucalyptus forests, and the echidnas of the outback. The text is descriptive and informative, yet hyperbolic language detracts from the interesting facts presented. A map and note about Australia's history and people are included.
