REVIEWED BY CINDY, 7, VIC
Koala by Claire Saxby,
illustrated by Julie Vivas,
Walker Books,
ISBN 9781925126396
Cindy read a copy of this book in her school library.
A koala mum ignores her own little baby koala and says ‘Climb, little koala, it’s time to find your own way’.
Why can’t Koala jump back into his mother’s pouch now? Will his mother come to save him if he falls off the branches on his way to find his own home?
This book is a story about a young koala and his mother advising him about what he should be able to do as he’s growing up.
The book has the extra features of non-fiction text and a poem on each page.
I recommend this book for kids who love koalas, particularly kids who are 3-7 years old. I give this book a rating of 8 out of 10.
