A Steve Parish Kids Story Book.

This copy purchased last week from Vinnies Croydon for overseas release.

From inside cover:
"In 'Koala's Big Day', a baby koala travels with his mother and the other koalas to a gum tree that has enough leaves for everyone. The koala is unique to Australia. It lives in eucalypt forests in eastern Australia and eats only gum leaves. Gum leaves are low in energy content, so koalas spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping. A baby koala, called a joey, stays in it's mother's pouch for six months, drinking its mother's milk. It later rides on her back until it is about twelve months old."

Book has been neatly covered to protect it on its journey, with a special sticker on the front.

Another book against part 16 (United Kingdom) of my 'Lifetime Release Challenge' for eventual release.

Book airmailed from North Croydon postoffice at around 4pm today, December 30 2011.

Sent by Jenny-G in her wonderful parcel. I used to admire the Steve Parish books when i lived in Oz - one for my other neice i think, who's mothers were also out there with me

Passed onto my niece, who's mother is a bookcrosser and spent two years in Australia so hope she'll appreciate it

The girls loved this book, lots of cute photos of koalas 🐨
We have had this out again as we are going to Australia ���� on holiday next week, and think maybe it’s time to release it to some smaller children.

Delivered to Camden to the free little book box for release

Handed back from my sister, I am going to set it free in my little free book box. I hope this isn't the end of it's story.

Leaving in my little free book box at the bottom of South Villas. Please do leave a quick journal entry and let me know where it ended up. And if you’ve finished with it, I’d love it if you could return it to the little free book box for someone else to pick up and enjoy.
