Koala Hospital (Wildlife Rescue)

This is a fantastic book! I am so glad I purchased it. You won't regret buying it!

Koala Hospital contains not only gorgeous photographs and readable text, but a powerful story about conservation. Suzi Eszterhas has done a great job documenting her experiences with the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie, Australia. She shows not only lots of pictures of the animals themselves, but the steps that the many volunteers take to take care of the animals and whenever possible release them back into the wild. The dedication of these volunteers shines through loud and clear as they dedicate their time to raising, treating, and helping koalas. This book beautifully highlights the good that can be accomplished when human beings work with nature and not against it. The information included about koalas is also bound to fascinate young animal lovers. This is what picture book nonfiction should be.

We enjoyed this book. My eight year old read it to herself multiple times, and my five year old enjoyed it as a read-aloud. The pictures are sweet and the text was informative. We especially liked the "Questions Kids Ask Suzi" page in the back-- it answered many of the questions my kids had after reading the book. We will be looking for the next three books in the series as they are published.

Gutes Buch, ich war selbst da und habe das Buch jetzt für den Schulunterricht gekauft. Die Kinder fanden es super interessant, die Bilder helfen beim Verstehen.

Liebevoll gestaltetes Buch mit wunderschönen Fotos, das trotz der recht kurzen Artikel sehr informativ ist
