'It is time for Little Koala to leave the protection of his mother. But many challenges and dangers lie ahead for him as he searches for his own home eucalypt and learns to be independent. During his search he encounters other territorial koalas, wanders through a bushfire-ravaged landscape and endures a night of storms.' (Synopsis)
Teachers' notes from publisher's website.
'The stuffed toy koalas seen in tourist shops have only a sanitised resemblance to Saxby's and Vivas's real life koala ; Nor do their animals live and idyllic life in an arcadian landscape. Their koala lives in the real world and needs to survive the vicissitudes of life in the Australian bush.' (Introduction)
