A Nature Storybook about the irresistible koala, from two award-winning picture-book makers.
It is time for Little Koala to leave the protection of his mother. But many challenges and dangers lie ahead as he searches for a eucalyptus tree of his own and learns to be independent. The main text is accompanied by informative captions about the life cycle, behaviour and diet of these fascinating creatures - including the fact that they sleep up to 18 hours a day! Written by award-winning nonfiction picture book specialist Claire Saxby, and stunningly illustrated by the much celebrated Julie Vivas, one of Australia's premier illustrators.
This is Book 29 in the Nature Storybooks Series. See all Nature Storybooks books here.
