I loved the story! It teaches us that bullying others for being different is never a good thing to do, and that we should stand up to bullies and help others in need. The illustrations are gorgeous as well!

Koala Ballerina, Super Hero is beautifully illustrated children's book which will appeal to early readers. The story is entertaining and has an important message about bullying. Highly recommended.
Midwest Book Review:
Koala's solution goes beyond rescue, delving into creating bridges of understanding that adults can use to show the young how to foster cooperation in their own young worlds.
By using the image of a proactive, strong female who figures out how to not just be a superhero, but help educate those around her, the story moves beyond an action figure's rescue attempts to delve into the bigger picture of emotional barriers to acceptance, and understanding how to address them.
Libraries and adults looking for picture books that feature strong female characters, attract attention with vivid color drawings and the familiar superhero concept, then take the next step into linking these attractors to better life choices and true heroism will find Koala Ballerina's Superhero Bowling Rescue a winner.
