A Day with Mommy and Baby Koala by J.M. West is an adorable storybook for children that will take them to the world of koala bears. Baby koalas wake up in the arms of their mothers and they are always kept warm and safe. Mother koalas teach their babies to climb, to eat, to hang around, and groom each other at night. Baby koalas know that it's a lot of work when they grow up so they sleep a lot when they are young. Baby koalas are called 'joeys' and this book will make all readers love koala bears.

The book is cute and children learn about koala bears and their growing stages. The book is simple to understand and connects well with kids. It can also be used for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries. It's a good bedtime storybook too for parents and grandparents to read out to their kids and grandkids.
