Kev the Sleepy Koala

Sarah’s Note: Did you know that Koalas like Kev can sleep for up to 20 hours a day? They need all that rest because their favorite food—eucalyptus leaves—is very hard to digest!

The Book Connection: Sarah tries everything to wake Kev up for a bush dance in Book 2: Sarah The Hairy Nosed Wombat and The Sleepy Koala. Read the story to see how she learns that everyone has their own rhythm!

Sarah's Notebook

The Golden Wattle

Sarah’s Observation: "The bush is glowing today! I found a beautiful Golden Wattle bush in full bloom. It’s covered in tiny, yellow puffball flowers that smell just like sweet honey.

Fun Science Fact: The Golden Wattle is the National Floral Emblem of Australia, and is the gold on my cape. It is very tough and can grow back even after a bushfire because its seeds are protected by a hard coat.
