What The Reviewers Say

Gregory Day,
Sydney Morning Herald (AUS)
Clode’s lens is spot-on in the focus she places throughout the book on the inextricability of the koala with its habitat.
Kathleen McBroom,
Booklist
Cuddly koalas may be ubiquitous in children’s literature, but there aren’t that many adult tales out there, a situation that author and animal behavior specialist Clode seeks to redress in this engaging, authoritative overview..
Becky Libourel Diamond,
BookPage
... a thorough and descriptive backstory of the koala.
Margaret Snowdon,
Readings (AUS)
Koala is more than just a fascinating book about these marsupials, it’s also an enjoyably informative chronicle of this continent from ancient prehuman times to the challenges of the present.
