Koala Calamity (Awesome Animals)
Jonathan Meres, Neal Layton
The fifth animal in the hilarious AWESOME ANIMALS series – awesome adventures with the wildest wildlife.
From the author of the hilarious WORLD OF NORM series comes the first of two crazy koala capers. You might think that koalas are boring, just because all they do is eat eucalyptus leaves and sleep. For 19 hours a day. But you’d be wrong. They’re not boring. They’re just LAZY. They’re chilling, basically, kicking back and catching some rays in the treetops, and staying out of trouble. At least, that’s what our cool koala buddies Dude and Bro, and little brother Squirt WERE doing, till one day they wake up to find they’ve missed their transfer from the koala sanctuary to the zoo across town, and will now have to find their own way there before Mum and Dad find out they’re missing. Can they make it across town in their stolen zoo buggy or will the day end in one great big koala calamity?Reviews
My favourite character was Bro's little brother Squirt because I find him a bit funny

It wasn’t as interesting and it didn’t capture my imagination. I didn’t feel the urge to read it every day.

It was great!!! I like how they made dude and bro kind of dum and made the little one/brother (Squirt) the smart one.

Squirt, Dude & Bro are the main characters, Dude and Bro are lazy and Squirt is unlazy (this is a real word in my very own dictionary) My favourite character is the kookaburra, although I only have this book a 3* rating, I would still recommend it for younger readers. I'm 9yrs old and found it a bit on the young side for me which is why it hasn't got more stars.

The main characters are Bro, Dude and Squirt. They were sleeping and they missed the big move to the zoo at the other side of the city and they have to get there by themselves. They started off at a koala sanctuary with loads of other animals and they were sleeping a lot which I found funny. They borrowed someone's buggy (not a babies buggy, but a buggy they can ride) and they said it was so easy that a koala could do it which was also very funny. They managed to get to the zoo and they were meant to go with the others to their mum and dad. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

The three koalas are on a mission to try and find the zoo, and their parents after getting taken away from the koala sanctuary. It's a really funny book and the characters are great. I loved it.

I really liked this book because its all about koalas and I love them. It was a fiction book and my favourite character was Squirt because he was thinking more about his parents than Dude and Bro. I would recommend it to people who love koalas and like Australia and other animals in Australia like kookaburra's, crocodile's, kangaroo's (I like them too), giraffes, meerkats and much more.
