Eucalypt Stew David J. Mcmullen

Native to Australia, these cute, cuddly little creatures spend most of their time high up in the branches of a Eucalyptus tree. Koalas sleep most of the time, only waking to munch on the leaves of the Eucalypt trees. Eucalyptus leaves contain Eucalyptus oil (a form of alcohol), which may be the reason koalas sleep most of the time! Koalas generally only venture down to the ground to change trees for a new source of food. Eucalypt Stew takes the reader through the koalas' sleep-eat-sleep cycle, by combining a fun rhyming storyline with some beautifully crafted illustrations created by one of Australia's most talented up-and-coming artists. David J. McMullen is an author, poet, and songwriter living in Melbourne, Australia. His family tree is littered with literary folk, the most notable being Henry Lawson (1867-1922). This is his fifth book. The others are Oz Words, Oz Words Too, The Fearless Five - One Up, and Just Add Music. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/DavidJMcMullen
