| Annotation: |
Penny, Henry, Frankie, Mum, Dad and Uncle Kev travel from Tasmania to the Top End, making a big zig-zag crossing of Australia on the way.
Each page opening is, as always, packed with detail. Very sharp eyes will be needed for some illustrations as Harvey has achieved a new level of delicacy with fine lines and lovely underwater effects. The text has to be read as one finds it as there are continual distractions both factual and fantastical.
Companion to At the Beach, In the Bush. and In the City.
Outstanding and highly recommended. |
