## Description

A truly funny and original picture book starring a sweet koala-like creature with a terrible reputation. But do you believe the rumours? With humour and gentle suspense, Dropbear dares all little ones to think only for themselves and not give way to gossip. A masterful new picture book by Philip Bunting filled with atmospheric yet graphic illustrations of the Australian outback. Deep in the Australian bush, there lives a creature who seems just like a koala bear, but who is feared by all. Hiding high up in the trees, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting victims below - it's dropbear. But is Dropbear really as evil as everyone says he is? One brave little bird dares to find out the truth for herself.
