Review: Families of Australia

australia-dvd.jpg

We received the DVD, Families of Australia, in the mail the other day. The DVD is part of a larger series called Families of the World. Families of Australia tells the story of two children and their families.

Phoebe lives on a farm in Attunga with her family. The DVD follows her on a typical day where she gathers fresh eggs for breakfast, rounds up sheep, and enjoys Sports Day at school.

Josh lives in Sydney, Australia's largest city. We see him take care of his pet chickens and rabbits, make scrambled eggs, and follow him to school and on a visit to his grandparents.

This DVD was nice and short, about 30 minutes in length, but definitely way outside the range of what you would consider "baby material". This would be much more appropriate for a 6-9 year old child. They could compare and contrast their lives with those of children living in far off countries. In fact, this DVD really reminds me of some of the educational videos that I saw back in my primary school days.

If you'd like to purchase Families of Australia, you may do so through the Families of the World website.
