Editorial Reviews

Review

"Great illustration matched with fun rhyming text make for a solid tale of letting go and trying something new." -- School Library Journal"The jaunty rhyming text and brightly colored illustrations show an amusing ensemble of animals and help lighten the message, clearly stated at the end: 'Life can be great when you try something new!' They also cleverly strike a balance between portraying the basis for Kevin's fears and showing how little he needs to fear." -- Booklist

From the Inside Flap

Sometimes a little CHANGE can open your world to BIG possibilities.

Kevin the koala loves every day to be the same, where it's snug and safe. But when change comes along, will Kevin learn all the joys that come with trying something new?

If you are looking for an amazing board book that will be great for your kid as they age and it has great graphics a story that has a life lesson, look no further. All of Rachel Bright's books are fantastic. They each tell a different story through the lives of animals. The stories always have a life lesson that is easy to understand for young kids and the images in the books are eye grabbing. Her writing makes it easy to really get into story telling. I cannot say enough good things about all of her books!

This is a very cute story that has a message of overcoming fears to be able to enjoy life. It also shows how much better life is if you just give new things a chance. I love the pictures, the rhyming, and the word play.

This book is about Kevin the koala who has some social anxiety and is a little introverted. Having friends SOUNDS fun, but it is nice and safe and cozy in his tree. Well written and super cute.
