The entertaining and universal tale of a boy and his weird-looking toy he didn't ask for and wants nothing to do with (and you can see why, Koala's a bit frightening). Sean Ferrell's writing is minimal but funny paired with Charles Santoso's expressive illustrations. The ending may surprise you. The last page is my FAVORITE part! ( )

What an awful message all the way around. You should definitely judge things on their appearance, and don't piss off the weirdos 'cuz you might use them later against bigger weirdos. ( )

The pictures are well-done, but I don't understand the story: either what's happening, or what the point is.  I got some clues after reading lots of reviews on GR, but still, I'm not sure how it got on my list or if I'm glad it did. ( )

I don't blame Adam at all for disliking that creepy looking stuffed koala. ( )
