Publisher Description: Explore the world of koalas, kangaroos, and other marsupials in this award-winning beginner's guide from the creators of the About... and About Habitats series. "A handsome introduction to an unusual group of mammals." ―Kirkus Reviews In this edition of the acclaimed About... series, former educator and author Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what marsupials are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live. With beautifully detailed, realistic paintings, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill introduces readers to a variety of marsupials―from the well-known koala and kangaroo to the less familiar cuscus and quoll. An afterword provides more details. About Marsupials is part of the award-winning About... series. Ideal for casual exploration as well as for early childhood and elementary science units on animals.
