Loved it！

GOOD FOR: anxiety， letting go， trying new thingsThis cute little book has great rhymes and a great moral！ In it， the koala is scared to try new things。 He seems to have a bit of anxiety and just likes to stay in his trees。 The other animals always invite him to play and encourage him come down but he doesn’t。 Until a woodpecker forces his hand and he realizes life’s not too bad out of the tree！

The colors are beautiful， and the illustrations are dramatic and well done。 But the story。。。it's great the koala was forced into being okay with doing new things， EXCEPT。。。I feel like his change was so drastic and uncharacteristic （he didn't have to go through the dark night of the soul， if you will lol， during the transition） that it popped the bubble。 Tirian's review （17 months）: Eh。 The colors are cool but the koala is sorta scary。 The colors are beautiful， and the illustrations are dramatic and well done。 But the story。。。it's great the koala was forced into being okay with doing new things， EXCEPT。。。I feel like his change was so drastic and uncharacteristic （he didn't have to go through the dark night of the soul， if you will lol， during the transition） that it popped the bubble。 Tirian's review （17 months）: Eh。 The colors are cool but the koala is sorta scary。 。。。more

Mooie grote platen， en het verhaal rijmt heerlijk！ Mijn kinderen maken zelf de zinnen af。Zo vaak heb ik het verhaal al voorgelezen haha

Fear of the unknown。 So many children will connect with this book。 A great source for discussing fears and finding ways to overcome them。Young readers will enjoy the rhyme and love the illustrations。

Megan ，

Great story。 Lots of positivity。 Also a lot of good vocabulary words。 The students I read it to wanted to know the definition of the word ‘bold’ and that sent us on a 10 minute inquiry into what it means to be bold。

Uma excelente maneira de mostrar às crianças que só petisca quem arrisca。 Gostei bastante da história （e o trabalho de tradução para a língua portuguesa também foi muito bem feito）！

Joe Adams ，

Really like this series of books， the messages are subtle and the art is individual。

A very cute book about not being scared and trying new things。 Loved the illustrations as well as the pace of the book

Luimme tänään omaksi ostetun Ihan itse， sanoi susi ja sen takakannessa mainostettiin saman tekijäkaksikon muita kirjoja。 Huomasin， että meillähän on juuri lainattuna kirjastosta toinen niistä， Kyllä， sanoi koala。 Susikirjassa ihastutti valtavasti kuvituksen maalauksellisuus， joten odotukset koalalle （tai tamperelaisittain paremminkin kualakarhulle） olivat kovat。 Tämä ei kuitenkaan säväyttänyt， vaan jäi peruskuvakirjan ihan-jees-perus-hyvälle tasolle。

I adore Rachel Bright’s writing and this is no exception！ Like all of her other books， it is a fantastic addition to a classroom and will support children emotionally so well。

Kevin the koala is content holding on to a tree and keeping things the same until the woodpecker pecks down his tree and he is forced to let go。 By doing so， he comes to realises how good change can be and promotes a 'can do' attitude。 Lovely illustrations which match the story beautifully。 Overall， a great book which could support children with letting go themselves， anxieties around trying something new and group discussions around others feelings and developing empathy。 Kevin the koala is content holding on to a tree and keeping things the same until the woodpecker pecks down his tree and he is forced to let go。 By doing so， he comes to realises how good change can be and promotes a 'can do' attitude。 Lovely illustrations which match the story beautifully。 Overall， a great book which could support children with letting go themselves， anxieties around trying something new and group discussions around others feelings and developing empathy。 。。。more

A cute little picture book about Kevin the Koala who lacks a little bit of confidence and self esteem。 An ok message but quite boring。 Definitely better ways to get across the message: leave your comfort zone and try something new。 I did， however， like that it was a rhyming book。 Lots of rhythm so could capture children's attention and interest。 A cute little picture book about Kevin the Koala who lacks a little bit of confidence and self esteem。 An ok message but quite boring。 Definitely better ways to get across the message: leave your comfort zone and try something new。 I did， however， like that it was a rhyming book。 Lots of rhythm so could capture children's attention and interest。 。。。more

My daughter loves it and I do too！ Such a cute lovely story and so fun to read to a toddler

Sandra | Leituras descomplicadas ，

Mais um fantástico livro que aborda um tema importante para os mais novos: mostrar que vale a pena arriscar e acreditar que se é capaz。 Os livros desta dupla são mágicos e carregados de importantes mensagens que contribuem e muito para o desenvolvimento infantil em diferentes aspectos， muito focado na sua inteligência emocional e na relação com o outro。 Mais um livro que entrou para os nossos preferidos da hora do conto。

The Koala Who Could is a sweet story of bravery and friendship。 Sometimes we don't know we can be brave until we have no choice。 This is a great way to introduce that concept to our children who are a bit more cautious。 On the other hand， it's a great way to offer patience and empathy to our children who struggle to understand others' hesitance。 The Koala Who Could is a sweet story of bravery and friendship。 Sometimes we don't know we can be brave until we have no choice。 This is a great way to introduce that concept to our children who are a bit more cautious。 On the other hand， it's a great way to offer patience and empathy to our children who struggle to understand others' hesitance。 。。。more
