Koala Bare

Storytime at Home 

with Fiona the Storyteller

For far too long, koalas have been called bears.  Bears live in cottages in the woods, eat porridge or bamboo, have picnics and … wear pants!  This koala is not happy about it.  He is out to prove that he is BARE not A BEAR.  And the bears had better not get in his way!

Join Fiona as she reads Koala Bare by Jackie French; a wonderful and very funny look at the differences between koalas and bears.  Beautifully illustrated by Matt Shanks.  Published by Harper Collins.

 Storytime Activity

In Koala Bare we see bears enjoying a picnic (until Koala Bare turns up, anyway!). For our Storytime Activity, Fiona will be hosting her very own Teddy Bears’ Picnic.  Perhaps you can have a picnic at home?
