What a gorgeous alphabet book this is! Antonia Pesenti’s quirky and colourful illustrations perfectly complement Hilary Bell’s clever rhyming couplets (B is for bats, who sojourn after dark / To the gardens across from Centennial Park. / They squeal until sunrise, then back they commute/ To hang from the palm trees like stinky black fruit.). Twenty-seven double-page spreads showcase the things that make Sydney and all other Aussie cities special – distinctive landscapes, plants and animals; cultural diversity; a laid-back, funloving lifestyle – and flicking through them is plenty of fun. 2+
