Good bed time read for toddlers
This hard cover book is perfect for toddlers. The colors, animals and the story itself is as well good. My 1 year old keeps looking at all the different animals on the pages. Looking forward to get the other books like Lion Inside, Squabbler from these authors.

Amazing book.
Favourite Rachel Bright book. Very well illustrated with amazing storyline about a shy and introverted koala eventually becoming happier and more adventurous at the end of the story after a small accident.

Inspiring, charming, and perfect for young readers
The Koala Who Could is a delightful story that encourages courage, perseverance, and self-confidence in young children. The rhythmic text and engaging narrative make it easy for little ones to follow along, and the story delivers a positive, motivating message without feeling preachy. 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

Molto bella; storia di coraggio
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.

Brilliant children's book
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.
