BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
A Laughing Kookaburra family works together to survive in Australia. The Father and Mother Kookaburra look for a new nesting site to start the mating season. While the female Kookaburra sits on the eggs, the whole family works to feed her and protect their territory.
The storyline of Kookaburra is mostly informational. There are separate tidbits of information about the Kookaburra on each page that are very interesting. We do learn a lot. While the illustrations are very artistic and create the feel of a wild Australia, they are quite messy, and the reader must concentrate to see what is taking place. The impressionistic style is too abstract for me to enjoy the book.
