A gorgeous special edition celebrating 35 years of this Australian classic by the bestselling and much-loved author of Where is the Green Sheep? and Possum Magic.
There was once a baby koala, so soft and round that all who saw her loved her. Her name was Koala Lou.
Koala Lou is the first born in a large family. She feels sad because her mother seems too busy to pay her any attention. Perhaps if she wins the tree-climbing at the Bush Olympics her mother might notice her again . . .
'A first-rate choice for bedtime, story hour, or reading aloud.' The Horn Book
