Saxby, Claire
Koala Illustrated by Julie
Vivas PICTURE BOOK Candlewick Press,
2017. $16.99 Content: G.
This is the story about what a koala does after his mom is done raising
him. He has to move to his own tree and
find his own place to eat and live.
Throughout the story the lives of koalas are explained as well as what they
eat.
Although I think this is supposed
to be the story of one Koala, it felt broken up with all the facts
throughout. There is also a page spread
that shows a koala at the top of a tree and humans are using ropes to try to
get to him, but there is no explanation in the text as to what is going
on. There are interesting facts, but the
illustrations aren’t great. My son and I
love koalas, but I was disappointed in this book.
