Industry Reviews Gr 1-3 An introduction to the koala that begins by differentiating between this primarily nocturnal Australian marsupial and a bear. The authors then describe the subspecies of koalas and their general traits and habits. Clear, full-color photos or softly colored drawings appear on every page. The format is open, with large print and lots of white space. A suitable title for young report writers. Patricia Mahoney Brown, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Kenmore, NY Lopate
