What´s not to love about a cute, cuddly... creepy toy koala? This is the story of a boy and the stuffed animal he just can´t seem to shake.

Adam does not like Koala. Koala is a little creepy.

Adam tries explaining this to his parents. He tries putting Koala away-far away. He tries taking Koala on a long, long walk. Nothing works. Will Adam ever be rid of Koala?

This darkly funny debut picture book from Sean Ferrell and Charles Santoso celebrates imagination and bravery while addressing a universal childhood dilemma: what to do about that one stuffed animal who just won´t stop staring at you.

"Everyone will like I Don´t Like Koala eventually. You see even if they are so misguided as to not like it immediately Koala will handle it himself. That´s what he does with his terrible eyes and his warm, mysterious, determined heart. Terrific illustrations and a great story, what´s not to like?" Kenny Brechner Publishers Weekly ShelfTalker, August 28, 2014
