Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Fox's two new books join Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge as perfect examples of why the Australian writer has become one of today's top authors of children's books. Koala Lou is loved by everyone, but it is her mother who loves her most of all. She often tells her daughter, "Koala Lou, I DO love you." As the family grows and her mother gets busier, Koala Lou yearns to hear those words again. She sets out to win the Bush Olympics as a way to gain her mother's attention. Lofts's colored-pencil drawings portray the Australian flora and fauna beautifully, including a few of the more exotic species. In Night Noises , elderly Lilly Laceby lives with her fat old dog Butch Aggie. While Lily dozes in front of the fire, Butch Aggie becomes increasingly concerned by the sounds of cars, voices, knocking and shouts. At last, Lily finally wakes up to answer the door, where a veritable mob waits to wish her a happy 90th birthday. Denton uses cartoon balloons and large letters to show the simultaneous action. Both of Fox's books send out positive messages to children about the wonders of being human: Koala Lou celebrates the eternal love of a mother for her child without the sentimentality of Robert Munsch's Love You Forever , and Night Noises lovingly bridges the generation gap. Ages 3-6.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Instant Favorite, Oct 3 2011
This review is from: Koala Lou (Paperback)
This book posesses all the elements of an ideal children's tale. Most of all, it has heart and can relate to both kids and parents alike.
The vivid illustrations are masterpieces in themselves.
Add to that the theme of a mother's love and a child's determination and you've got an instant classic.
My kids aged 5 and 4 ask me to read it to them every night and it is always my pleasure to oblige.
I wish all children's books were this perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story..., Nov 19 2003
By 
C.S. (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Koala Lou (Paperback)
I know a childrens book shouldn't make you cry, but I was actually crying in the end! What a wonderful, wonderful story, and beautiful ending! Lovely story about hard work to obtain a goal, but also that our children don't have to do ANYTHING to earn our love - we love them no matter what. Highly recommend this little book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that parents and their children will love!, Aug 23 2001

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Koala Lou (Hardcover)
After hearing this story read to my daughters kindergarten class I knew that we had to have it. My daughters and I read the book at least once a week and have given it as gifts to many friends. The book expresses so much love that a parent gives to a child and reminds us not to forget to express our love verbally.
