(2) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Vivas. Saxby combines a single koala's narrative with explanatory, expository prose that provides information about the species as a whole. Vivas's light-filled watercolors provide a buffer...even when a rattlesnake appears in a clearing, prompting an explanation of the ways koalas escape from danger. The narrative arc concludes with our protagonist finding a permanent home among the eucalyptus trees, while the expository portion extends to a scientific afterword. Ind.
