Nice illustrations, odd story. Appeared to be a story with a moral, but I'm not sure what that moral was.

What a happy little book. This book is about a group of Koala’s. They are so cute an adorable. Wow, how the children feel in love with this book. It was a very old copy that we had to be delicate with and so it was very difficult for my nephew - a true bull-in-a-china-shop.

The bears are angry with each other and no one knows why, so the wise old koala at the top of the tree throws a costume party. Seeing the Koala bears dress up is beyond cute. They dance all day and when they take off their costumes, they don’t recognize each other and get angry again. So, the old koala has them put their costumes back on and dance all night. Everything does get resolved.

Why isn’t this story more read? It’s a wonderful simple tale for beginning readers about cute as can be koala bears in dress up. My kids loved it. I thought it was a lot of fun too. This needs to be read again. It’s a sugar overload.

A Caldecott Honor book.

About a bunch of koalas 🐨 not getting along, and how the wise, old bear fixed it by dressing up for a masquerade. I think it would be a perfect book for those that have both boys and girls in the family, as it has both in it. That being said, our boys all really enjoyed the book too.
