Over in Australia: Amazing Animals Down Under Review: Great for fun AND learning numbers -- book includes suggestions for learning through play & art - This is hands down one of my favourite books. I'm an aussie expat living in the USA so I am always on the look out for books about Australia to teach my kids. Not only is this a great book about native Australian animals (if you're not from Australia, there are a few you probably haven't heard of before). What I love in a nutshell: -teaches counting from the number one to ten in ascending order. This is very useful for new learners. -artwork is engaging! The illustrator notes that she each page is a collage she created with mixed media so theres tonnes to look at on each page -the rhyme for each number/animal is fun! You can really animate your voice just by reading! -the stories/rhymes are about a mother animal and her babies but there is also a fun daddy emu rhyme! -EXTRA LEARNING SUGGESTIONS at the end of the book. There are at least 10 pages after the 'story' that are like the bonus features on a dvd. There's a hunt to go back through the book & find hidden animals, find the number of animals on a map of Australia (this page includes a key showing desert, grassland, forest & actually has the animals situated on the map where they naturally live), there's various facts, information about other Australian animals & the animals in the story, tips from the author on how to use the book & concepts in it for extended play (such as dramatic play, arts & crafts, math, verbs/nouns, discussion, environmental studies, websites to other activities & information, links & suggestions for other books) and then there's a page written by the illustrator where she details how she made each page using collage (she also suggests various art activities on how to achieve similar results & activities that would be fun for kids) -the author also asks you to contact her with your thoughts whether as a teacher or a parent which is super awesome, I think this demonstrates how much she cares about what she does and who she does it for! All in all I think this is an incredible book that is great for parents and teachers alike. I personally love reading it to my children, it really doesn't get old. Would highly recommend this book! Review: AWESOME BOOK - So great learning about Australia and its animals by counting to 10 to over in the meadow!

Great learning series! 2 1/2 year old grandson loves this series! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rhythmic and Educational *by A***S on May 12, 2021* I purchased this title because I enjoyed the author’s original work, Over In the Meadow so much. This Australian version was just as rhythmic and enjoyable! There are plenty of early learning opportunities woven throughout the book, from counting 1-10, to the informative pages in the back of the book. Makes a perfect addition to geography studies for littles! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/3785128-over-in-australia-amazing-animals-down-under](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/3785128-over-in-australia-amazing-animals-down-under) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
