Like the other Sasek classics, these are facsimile editions of his original books. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than forty years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the twenty-first century, appearing on a \"This is . . . Today\" page at the back of each book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s witty, playful narrative, make these books a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood. In This is Australia, first published in 1970, Sasek swings down under, winging his readers into Sydney, with its famous bridge and space-age Opera House; bustling, modern Melbourne; colonial Adelaide; semitropical Brisbane; the garden city of Canberra; mineral-rich Perth; and Alice Springs, Australia’s most famous outback town.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780789318541","publication_date":"20090922","publisher":"Rizzoli","slug":"this-is-australia","subtitle":"A Children's Classic","title":"This Is Australia"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JNF038030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Australia & Oceania","score":0.8335,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Australia & Oceania Stories","score":0.7957,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF052020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Customs & Traditions","score":0.7594,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JNF038030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Australia & Oceania","score":0.8335,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Australia & Oceania Stories","score":0.7957,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF052020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Customs & Traditions","score":0.7594,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JNF038030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Australia & Oceania","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF052020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Customs & Traditions","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF058000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Travel","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Australia & Oceania","score":0.8335,"slug":"australia-oceania"},{"label":"Australia & Oceania Stories","score":0.7957,"slug":"australia-oceania-stories"},{"label":"Customs & Traditions","score":0.7594,"slug":"customs-traditions"}],"reader_fit":["Children and parents who enjoy illustrated overviews of Australia"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Adam Gamble","Mark Jasper"],"book_id":"9781602198036","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781602198036.jpg?v=fb5a37de53acd1fd","score":0.7747,"title":"Good Night Australia","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781602198036"},{"authors":["Frané Lessac"],"book_id":"9781536215274","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781536215274.jpg?v=9696767bf5ce6add","score":0.7266,"title":"Australian Baby Animals","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781536215274"},{"authors":["Jill Esbaum"],"book_id":"9781426331572","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781426331572.jpg?v=8159e7265c51d04b","score":0.7002,"title":"Explore My World: Kangaroos","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781426331572"},{"authors":["Jacqueline Davies"],"book_id":"9780358531661","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780358531661.jpg?v=f4128ab61304ee98","score":0.6928,"title":"Sydney and Taylor Explore the Whole Wide World","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780358531661"},{"authors":["Melanie Florence"],"book_id":"9798888596685","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9798888596685.jpg?v=d9c56340143b62d0","score":0.6798,"title":"Our World: Canada","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9798888596685"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books for 7 year old boys"],"label":"Year","score":0.8411,"slug":"year"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books for 7 year old girls"],"label":"Girls","score":0.4323,"slug":"girls"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books for 7 year old boys"],"label":"Boys","score":0.4174,"slug":"boys"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:family"],"label":"Family","score":0.0921,"slug":"family"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:culture"],"label":"Culture","score":0.0449,"slug":"culture"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Australian cities and landmarks, Australian geography.","Themes: Year, Girls, Boys.","Reading lane: Australia & Oceania and Australia & Oceania Stories."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.91,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Children and parents who enjoy illustrated overviews of Australia"],"themes":["Australian cities and landmarks","Australian geography"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":63,"goodreads_ratings_count":94,"goodreads_reviews_count":9,"quality_score":0.8741}}
