5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautifully illustrated book of verse., November 25, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Incomplete Book of Australian Mammals (Hardcover)
This is a wonderfully whimsical book of verse about Australian mammals. The verse ranges from humour to serious conservation messages. The book is magnificently illustrated throughout with Pamela Conder's paintings and line drawings.
Pamela Conder is reknowned as a painter of animals, with a unique style that captures the essence of the animal. Her line drawings are precise, while her paintings are full of life.
As well as verse about Australia's more well-known animals, such as the koala and kangaroo, the book also features many lesser known species such as the planigale and antichinus. A final indication of the humour within this book is the title itself, which is a play on the title of Ronald Strahan's more well known book "The Complete Book Of Australian Mammals".
While this book is listed as having being written for children, it is highly recommanded for all ages.
