The Koala Who Could: From The World of Rachel Bright & Jim Field

Brilliant book! Great author

The message of the story is so simple but it has helped my koala obsessed twin grandchildren to learn and grow in confidence and in their own abilities. It’s beautiful to look at and the illustration style is very Australian in its colour scheme and the main character is very cute and memorable. The story itself is very well written and detailed but not so complex that it can’t be understood or remembered. The pictures have a lot of hidden details that children can point out so they can ask questions of their own it’s designed to be entertaining and educational. If you want to buy a book that will help your child learn and grow without forcing it down their throats then you should definitely buy this one.

Like all of the the Rachel Bright and Jim Field books, The Koala who Could is a delightful children's book, combining gorgeous story telling with with beautifil story telling. Kevin the Koala doesn't like to come down from his tree and constantly shuns invites from his animal friends, until one day he's forced to come down and realises that life is better when you say yes to things. Adults will enjoy the story and and the positive messaging - Bright has a knack for delivering important ideals - whilst creating lovable animal characters that children will relate to. Children will love the rhyming story telling and will enjoy picking out the details in Field's illustrations. A truly beautiful book.

Perfect book for little ones, vibrant colour, thick pages and beautiful story.

Super story, child friendly discussing worries, fear of change and feeling scared. Good condition and arrived quickly.

The Koala Who Could is a delightful story that encourages courage, perseverance, and self-confidence in young children.

The illustrations are colorful and expressive, capturing attention while complementing the storyline beautifully. The book is well-made with sturdy pages, making it suitable for repeated reading by tiny hands. This is a heartwarming and educational read that children and parents will enjoy together. Highly recommended for toddlers and preschoolers

Among all the books in this collection, this one is our favourite. The illustrations are well done and the story nudges you somewhere what you might have forgotten even as an adult.

Uno dei libri preferiti da mio figlio (non è bilingue ma riesce a seguire bene la storia in inglese). La rima lo rende accattivante e da ritmo alla lettura, le immagini aiutano a capire anche dove magari c'è un gap linguistico. Insieme a "The Lion Inside", è uno dei più belli. Questo in particolare parla del coraggio di buttarsi in nuove avventure, quindi è molto indicato per quei bambini un pochino "timidi", che faticano a lasciarsi andare alla novità o che sono semplicemente dei super osservatori che si uniscono all'attività solo quando questa ormai è finita. Consiglio di prenderlo in inglese in quanto quello tradotto in italiano non lo trovo altrettanto bello: mancano le rime e quindi la storia perde di "sonorità" e cattura meno (a parer mio) l'interesse del bambino.

Nos encantan las historias de Rachel Bright. Todas tienen una moraleja final y son muy divertidas. Las ilustraciones son muy chulas y de colores vivos, lo que hace que mi bebé quiera mirarlos siempre. En cuanto a este formato board book o libro de cartón decir que está muy bien y es de muy buena calidad. Es algo mayor de un palmo, no es muy grande pero está decente. Recomendados 100%. Si eres profesor, la historia de The Koala Who Could está muy bien para tratar muchos temas como el valor, el ser emprendedor, no tener miedo a lo nuevo.
