Meet Australia’s favourite marsupial in every kind of mood.

A great bunch of 50 cartoon koala characters for talking about feelings. Each circle-shaped card brings us up close and personal with a very expressive koala face. Which koala are you today? The mad, glad or just plain sad one? The shy or frightened one? There are no words, so Koalas are fantastic for young children and people with literacy challenges.

Booklet author: Russell Deal, Illustrator and designer: Mat Jones. Published by Innovative Resources, 2005, 50 cards in full-colour tin.
