Really interesting book of Australian facts

So many interesting facts each presented in easy to read information bites. I found this book interesting as an adult, and as a teacher, I know my students would love it. Gets to the nitty-gritty quickly with engaging pictures. A map marking where the places mentioned in the book are located would be an excellent inclusion. This could also be developed into an awesome activity book/pack. Bonus - I’ve always wondered how wombats poo cubes - now I know.

Nice book for kids, but annoying to see sentences such as "if your dad or your brother like sport..." or "if your sisters like pink". Unnecessary... Other than this pretty cool book with interesting facts.
