With its wide variety of imaginative pictures that allow for children to get a better understanding of Australian wildlife "Klassic Koalas: A Coloring Book of more than 80 Koalas and Uniquely Australian Creatures" is a wonderful display of the peaceful nature of the koala while showcaseing other animals from Down Under. By providing children with a better understanding of what life is like for the Koala in the Australian wilderness children can learn what they do can impact this world. Possibly the most beneficial part of the book for children is the glossary at the end. If they are truly interested in the animals and scenes that they see in the coloring book, the glossary can provide them with information their growing minds need. This coloring book allows for children to have fun and learn at the same time, which is something that both children and parents are looking for.

An astoundingly good read. Visually entertaining. Something perfect for expanding the minds of ones' young whilst at the same time being rather entertaining. The Australian aboriginal tales speak of a time long since past, but strangely of the present. This is a book well worth the purchase, so good that I picked one up for my friends children. Cheers!
