Eustace & Clyde

by Marina Aizen

Eustace and Clyde couldn’t be more different. Eustace likes to laze around. Clyde likes adventure. But they care about each other deeply. So when their home in the tree becomes too loud and crowded, the koalas take off to find a place of their own.

None of the new homes Eustace and Clyde find are quite right. They’re too far away, or too cold (though the koalas have great hats!), or too . . . quiet.

Maybe what Eustace and Clyde thought they wanted was what they actually had: peace and acceptance.

Inoffensive, feather-light story about two koalas who go looking for a new place to live, before deciding "there's no place like home."

Clyde and Eustace are a pair of koala bears who couldn't be more different from each other. But they are friends and they want to find a new place to live that's not as crowded as the tree apartment they now share with all their neighbors. They search high and low, finding homes that are too hot, too cold, too crowded, etc. Finally they go back to where they started and find their own home is perfect.

Two koalas who just want to live in a place where they can be two as their current home in the tree is too loud and crowded. Finding a new home is not as easy. It's too far away, too hot, too cold. Or....too quiet. Finally, they realize home is where the heart is.

Finding the perfect place to live can be hard, but sometimes it's right under our noses. This means more to me as an adult than it would have as a child, but the koalas are cute and the message of home with family definitely resonates.

I was expecting more from this as I found it in an LGBT search. It's a story of "there's no place like home" after searching for other places to live. There wasn't any depth in the story or characters.

Cute illustrations but stilted dialogue. And it’s soooo predictable
