Reviews
""Koalas Koko and Baba are always together until one day Koko ventures off alone....Caregivers will smile at all of Koko's childlike characteristics, from the "play" that results in a ball bouncing off Baba's head to Koko's repeatedly nagging "There!" at the sight of the butterflies. The repetitive nature of the sentence structure makes it a perfect fit for lap reading with an infant or toddler....This sweet board book is sure to provide readers and little listeners with two separate yet connected takeaways....Charming illustrations with a simple story that resonates."

"STARRED REVIEW "Dubuc keeps this warmhearted story simple and focused: Koko is a young koala who does everything on Baba's back, as baby koalas do, while Baba comically withstands myriad caretaking indignities....A subtly slapstick board book for the very smallest readers, and a good beginning reader, too."
