About this title

From Booklist:

Phillips is the director of the Koala Preservation Society in North America and has worked, observed, and helped save koalas, one of the earth's oldest living creatures, in their native habitat, Australia. He works at dispelling the myths to provide basic as well as in-depth information about these charming marsupials, though myths and lore surrounding koalas are more well known than the facts spelled out here. Phillips tells some heartrending accounts of koala rescues as he reveals the story of the growth and mission of the world's only Koala Hospital (where the author's profits will be donated).
