Booktopia Comments
This is not your average 32 page picture storybook. It is the same size as one and has the same pages and the illustrations are just as engaging for children to enjoy a book, its pictures and a storyline. However, the content is like a travel guide for W.A. with an adventure story intertwined with the quick tour of the state. So it would really appeal to anyone in W.A. who wants their children or students to learn more about their state or for any other child in the rest of Australia who is about to go on a holiday there or simply has been given the task to learn more about Western Australia.
The text on the page is about 30 to 50 words so there are many more than a child's picture book and a first level chapter book. So one would expect an older child to read it from the age of 8 to 10 or a parent to read it to a child if they were younger.
There are very few books around that cross between a travel guide, a kids adventure story and a picture story book and this one seems to have covered all of those areas extremely well. Highly recommended for anyone that feels the content is appropriate and relevant to your child or children.

Industry Reviews
"The real star here is the dizzying artwork, sort of a watercolor take on Where's Waldo? that invites any reader to scrutinize the jam-packed scenes for the details mentioned by the children. There's so much going on that everyone will find something different." --Booklist on In the City
"Rollicking . . . sharp-eyed children will be left thoroughly primed for road trips of their own." --Kirkus Reviews on In the Bush
