30 AUSTRALIAN STORIES FOR CHILDREN samples some of the best stories for children that Australia has to offer uaa combination of old favourites and contemporary classics in one collection aimed at upper primary school readers (7 to 11 year olds). This collection has a lively, up-beat tone that will have both children and adults chuckling. Children can read the stories themselves, while teachers and parents will find them excellent for reading aloud. Entertaining black and white illustrations from Gregory Rogers add to the enjoyment of each story. This is a collection to inspire the imaginations of Australian children and reflect what is special about growing up in Australia. 100 AUSTRALIAN POEMS FOR CHILDREN was extremely well received by teachers, librarians, booksellers and parents, and was seen to fill a gap in the market for high-quality anthologies of Australian literature for children. With 30 AUSTRALIAN STORIES FOR CHILDREN, Random House Australia will continue to meet that need.
