Koala Is Not A Bear by Kristin L. Gray with illustrations by Rachel McAlister explores
the nature of family as Koala tries to find her place in a camp full of
animals.
Grizzly is happy to
welcome Koala to the bear cabin, but Kangaroo insists Koala is not a bear. As
the story unfolds, Koala and Kangaroo take turns offering evidence to support
their opposing viewpoints. Koala can climb trees agrees Grizzly, but so can
lemurs, Kangaroo is quick to point out. New clues are disclosed with each turn
of a page. Does Koala hibernate? No! Does he have a pouch like Kangaroo? Yes!
The humorous text
encourages critical thinking in young readers as they assess the clues and
gradually narrow down the options until the answer is revealed. Cartoon-style
illustrations enhance the reader-friendly narrative.
Recommended for home
and school libraries.
