Pivotal Book Review
Koala Lou
 |
By Mem Fox
Illustrated by Kerry
Argent |
From the
reviews
...
A perfect example of why the Australian writer has become one of
today's top authors of
children's books. Koala Lou
is loved by everyone, but it
is her mother who loves her
most of all. She often tells
her daughter, "Koala Lou, I
DO love you." As the family
grows and her mother gets
busier, Koala Lou yearns to
hear those words again. She
sets out to win the Bush
Olympics as a way to gain
her mother's attention.
Lofts's colored-pencil
drawings portray the
Australian flora and fauna
beautifully, including a few
of the more exotic species.
This book sends out positive
messages to children about
the wonders of being human:
Koala Lou celebrates the
eternal love of a mother for
her child without
sentimentality.
“A first-rate choice for bedtime, story hour, or reading aloud.”--The
Horn Book
Lovely story about hard work to obtain a goal, but also that our
children don't have to do
ANYTHING to earn our love -
we love them no matter what.
Highly recommend this little
book.
The book expresses so much love that a parent gives to a child and
reminds us not to forget to
express our love verbally.
This is an especially great book for children who are about to lose
that valued only-child
status

For
children, sight word
recognition is an
important step to
being able to
efficiently learn to
read. If they don’t
have to stop and
consider what each
word is, they will
have the freedom to
comprehend the
meaning and context
of sentences and
paragraphs.
Consequently, it’s
critical for
parents,
babysitters,
guardians,
grandparents and
educators to help
beginning readers
