Baby Koalas

Through simple text and vivid photographs, young readers follow a koala joey from its first moments after birth through the stages of growth in its eucalyptus forest home. The book explains what the baby koala eats, how much it weighs at birth, and how its mother cares for it in the pouch. As the joey matures, readers learn how it develops fur, learns to climb, and eventually leaves the safety of its mother's back. The clear, age-appropriate narrative provides an introduction to the life cycle and habits of baby koalas.
