Gooligulch is "nowhere much near anywhere," but Grandma puts the area on the map, for she is more famous than it is. Why? Among the reasons: she is known to ride atop a kangaroo or "in a two-wheel gig/A wombat at the bit." Base provides readers with one of the best introductions to the fauna of the Australian bush. Although Base's best-selling extravaganza, Animalia, has won him reputation for pictorial skill, this, on the whole, is a better book. There is as much wit and humor in the rhyming text as there is mastery and opulence in the illustrations.Base, Graeme is the author of 'My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch' with ISBN 9780810915473 and ISBN 0810915472.
