Booktopia Comments
This is in the format of a picture storybook but it is so much more than that in so many ways. Firstly it is quite thick at 48 pages plus it is packed with text. The age range is set for as low as 7 and a child of that age will enjoy the pictures and the colourful illustrations but this book is much better suited for children much older due to the rich information provided in the text. No doubt it is perfect for school assignments and other school projects due to the detailed history of Australia's past and that is why a child as old as 12 could even use it but most likely it is best suited for children aged 8 to 11. Very highly recommended for any Australian home, school or library.

Comments about My Place:
As a teacher I have used this book many times in my classroom in years 3 and 5. It is great to accompany the topic of Australian History .
I purchased this copy to put on my 18 month old son's bookshelf so we could read it when he is older.

Comments about My Place:
My 11 year old grandaughter absolutely loves this book and we have both had great fun talking about all the various aspects of the book. It has given her an insight into early Australia and I hope there will be more books forthcoming.
