Praise for Hello, I'm a Quokka

"A descriptive subtitle might have read, "The Most Adorable Little Animal You've Never Seen." . . . A simply written, attractively illustrated, and informative introduction to a little-known but utterly charming animal." --Booklist

"First-person narratives from lovable endangered species encourage children to learn more. In each book, an animal introduces itself in a conversational way--the quokka's fun energetic speech is especially endearing--and shares facts about its species. To keep readers engaged, each animal poses questions to children, such as the sloth asking 'How often do you poop?' or 'Can you swim?' Each narrative also explains the dangers the animals face and what people are doing to help them." --School Library Journal
