From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3?An introduction to the koala that begins by differentiating between this primarily nocturnal Australian marsupial and a bear. The authors then describe the subspecies of koalas and their general traits and habits. Clear, full-color photos or softly colored drawings appear on every page. The format is open, with large print and lots of white space. A suitable title for young report writers.?Patricia Mahoney Brown, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Kenmore,

Review

. . . packed with facts ranging from the basic to the unusual and arresting. Information is presented in a child-friendly informal style. Interspersed throughout the texts are effective combinations of full-color photographs, illustrations, and diagrams that illuminate and support the facts presented. Highly recommended -- Children's Literature

This book sucked i was going to read it to a class but i read it first and it sucked it had nothing to doo with kioala bears and it took 10 for the book to come and the condition wasn't even that good it had little scratches all over it. It's a rip off and don't wast your time.
