If you were me and lived in... Australia : a child's introduction to cultures around the world

Personal Author EPSB
Carole P., Roman

Summary
Transports young readers to the other side of the globe to learn all about the history, weather, food, families, and language Down Under. Roman, a former teacher, eases kids into learning about Australian culture by pointing out its similarities to—and differences from—life in the United States. For instance, she writes: “You would call your mommy ‘mummy’…and your dad would answer to ‘daddy’…just like in America.” She goes on to explain that Aussies use another kind of dollar as currency, and are known for eating Vegemite sandwiches, playing cricket, grilling on the “barbie” (as opposed to the barbecue), and saying “no worries.”
