2.3 - Animals: An Indigenous First Discovery Book, 2.4 - Aussie Twos Like To
2.3 - Animals: An Indigenous First Discovery Book, artwork by Debbie Austin (2008)
The series was created to help raise awareness of the imortance of using Australian Indigenous symbols to teach stories to the young of our culture. This one, obviously, focuses on animals. Each page shows one symbol and there is a legend at the end so you can translate them.
My toddler was not terribly impressed - possibly she viewed it as too childish as there was no text.
2.4 - Aussie Twos Like To, Magabala Books (no date)
This follows on from Magabala Books’ *Aussie Toddlers Can*. It’s a collection of pictures of kids playing - what I like most about it is the range of skin tones the kids have.
It was less successful with my daughter than the toddler book, perhaps because she now feels too old for a book without text.
