Hardcover w/dustjacket. Like new. By Cathryn Sill. From the publisher: “Explore the world of koalas, kangaroos, and other marsupials in this award-winning beginner's guide to an unusual group of mammals--the marsupials. In this volume from the acclaimed About... series, author and educator Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what marsupials are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live. With beautifully detailed, realistic paintings, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill introduces readers to a variety of marsupials―from the well-known koala and kangaroo to the less familiar cuscus and quoll. An afterword provides more details for the animals featured in the book. Ideal for early childhood and elementary science units on animals.”
