Description
Young readers learn simple facts about baby koalas.
Quick Summary
In Baby Koalas, young readers follow joeys as they ride on their mothers' backs and explore the Australian eucalyptus forests where they live. The book explores the tender relationship between mother koalas and their babies, showing how the joeys learn to climb, eat eucalyptus leaves, and grow independent in their natural habitat. If your kid likes other titles in the National Geographic Kids series or the "Hello, World!" informational books, they'll love this similarly simple and visually appealing look at baby koalas. This book is perfect for kindergarten through third-grade readers, especially ages 5-7, who are just starting to read independently at an early first-grade level.
