The Koala Bounces Back

Karri the bouncing koala finally has a peaceful home and many friends in the bush—until a group of terrifying felines arrives and threatens to ruin all the fun

 

At long last, Karri finally feels at home among his friends in the bush—that is, until a gang of fearsome cats shows up and begins to scare everyone in sight. What can Karri do? The cats don't want to stop chasing the bush creatures, and they don't want to leave, either. After all, they need somewhere to live too. The cats strike a deal with Karri. They'll play a game for it, and whoever wins gets to stay. It's a risky move—where will Karri and his friends go if they lose?
