No matter how hard Adam tries to get rid of his creepy stuffed koala, it follows him... Until one day he discovers he might just need Koala after all.

"Koala is the most terrible terrible." This book was both hilarious and scary at the same time. No matter how many times Adam tries to get rid of Koala, Koala always shows up in the most unlikely places. This book is a great mix of scary and funny. This is a great book for any child who has had a doll that scared them.

The entertaining and universal tale of a boy and his weird-looking toy he didn't ask for and wants nothing to do with (and you can see why, Koala's a bit frightening). Sean Ferrell's writing is minimal but funny paired with Charles Santoso's expressive illustrations. The ending may surprise you. The last page is my FAVORITE part!

I read this one at ALA midwinter and really enjoyed it.
Enough that I preordered it.
Then I got busy and never had a chance to read it again until now.
And I loved it again. It's not your typical children's book. It really isn't warm and fuzzy.
Koala is creepy. The illustrator, Charles Santoso does a great job.
I can see this creeping some kids out. But a lot more are going to love it.
But maybe not love koala.
