Find a Book

Title: The Year of the Koala
Author: H.D. Williamson

Important Notes:
  • Koalas are nocturnal
  • Koalas are found in the eastern coastal area, which is the most heavily populated
  • Koalas rest on thin branches
  • Her fur is either misty gray or dark brown in shadows
  • Koalas prefer to stay separated
  • They keep their babies in a pouch, when first born, much like a kangaroo
  • The population of Koalas has decreased over the years

Summary:

In this book, Williamson explains that Koalas are a very important and interesting part of Australia. One example that supports this idea is that he explains how the Koala population has decreased due to hunting for their fur, and how it needs to be stopped. Another reason that supports the main idea is that the inhabit in a heavily populated area, an an area that is so prosperous in Australia. Finally the author gives the example of how their life may be boring filled with sleeping/eating, yet they are very diverse animals. These ideas are similar to slavery because the Koalas mind their own buisness, and they are used for profit.
