*W Is for Wombat: My First Australian Word Book* by Bronwyn Bancroft
W Is for Wombat: My First Australian Word Book
by Bronwyn Bancroft
Ages 2+ 24 pages Little Hare Books July 2011 Paperback    

With its marvelous color illustrations featuring the art of Aboriginal artist Bronwyn Bancroft, this picture book will attract not just toddlers but children of all ages and many adults. Bancroft’s distinctive, vibrant pictures of animals and other items found in Australia are an excellent primer for anyone who might be planning to take his or her child on a trip to the country.

Even when she is just picturing an island, the sun or a native tree, Bancroft fashions an illustration using her unique perspective. That means there’s plenty of texture created by circles, wavy lines, dots, and neon colors.
