Reviews

[Lynda]

Gorgeous, gently told story about Joey the little yellow bellied glider, who tumbles out of his nest and becomes part of the wonderful Australian forest wildlife adventure.
Beautifully writtn words and amazing illustrations.

[Julie]

Attractive illustrations, but I thought the text slightly let down the overall book. The choice of the main character's name, Joey, could be confusing to many young readers who may think the name only applies to kangaroo babies (which is actually not the case, but which many may not know).
