'The third book in the fantastical Riley travelogue series for young children, Riley and the Curious Koala takes this intrepid aviator on a trip around Sydney in search of a very elusive koala. Touring this magnificent city from the Harbour Bridge to Taronga Zoo, Riley is joined in his little red plane by characters from the first two Riley books - Panda, Dragon and Lion - who provide much comic relief and giggle-worthy shenanigans on Riley's journey. With only mere glimpses of this curious, leaf-munching and evasive critter, will Riley finally find what he is searching for? And what curiosities will we learn about this uniquely Australian animal?' (Publication summary)
