Hello, I'm a Quokka
CCBC Review:
A talkative quokka introduces itself to those unfamiliar with the small Australian marsupial, popular for its photogenic “smile.” Information about quokkas’ behavior, habitat, and history as impacted by human populations and climate change is sprinkled with questions for the reader (“Do you like hopping?” “When do you sleep?”). Realistic pencil, watercolor, and digital illustrations accompany the simple first-person text, and the final two pages offer additional information about the species and its endangered status. ©2025 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
