It helped me for the non-fiction fair at my school.

This is a cute, simple non-fiction book about Koalas. It gives some basic information about Koalas accompanied by some nice photographs showing them in their natural habitat as well as the birth of a baby (probably in captivity). The author also talks about the issues of the environment and the shrinking areas for Koalas to live. At the end of the book are some more facts as well as resources to find further information. This is a good beginning reader non-fiction book for interest as well as a beginning point for further investigation. Nice put together. Could be used in primary/early junior classrooms or in a public library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
