This ABC book features Australian Aboriginal motifs. Creatures like a koala, platypus, and quokka are thickly outlined in paint and decorated with multicolored dots, making them resemble ornate masks, while a river, sun, and tree take on an elemental quality. It’s an aesthetically striking guide to Australian wildlife. Ages 1-3. (June)
