Illustrated by
James McKinnon.
An account of a day in the life of a mother koala and her joey is used as a means to explore the flora and fauna of an Australian eucalyptus forest. The reader comes to see the forest's elaborate web of predators and prey from a koala's point of view. Clear illustrations and a picture glossary at the back make it easy to identify the animals described in the text.
