Fox's two new books join Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge as perfect examples of why the Australian writer has become one of today's top authors of children's books. Koala Lou is loved by everyone, but it is her mother who loves her most of all. She often tells her daughter, ``Koala Lou, I DO love you.'' As the family grows and her mother gets busier, Koala Lou yearns to hear those words again. She sets out to win the Bush Olympics as a way to gain her mother's attention. Lofts's colored-pencil drawings portray the Australian flora and fauna beautifully, including a few of the more exotic species. In Night Noises , elderly Lilly Laceby lives with her fat old dog Butch Aggie. While Lily dozes in front of the fire, Butch Aggie becomes increasingly concerned by the sounds of cars, voices, knocking and shouts. At last, Lily finally wakes up to answer the door, where a veritable mob waits to wish her a happy 90th birthday. Denton uses cartoon balloons and large letters to show the simultaneous action. Both of Fox's books send out positive messages to children about the wonders of being human: Koala Lou celebrates the eternal love of a mother for her child without the sentimentality of Robert Munsch's Love You Forever , and Night Noises lovingly bridges the generation gap. Ages 3-6. (Sept.)

This book was a gift to my nephews children from England. They read the book to both children and they loved the story. This book ticked all the boxes I had hoped for. Many thanks Sharon Hall
What a great book and a great reminder to stop and tell your children how much you love them. Sometimes it takes a little book like this to wake you up to the needs of your children. All Koala Lou wanted was for her mum to tell her that she loved her.
My family found this book a bit hard to get into. Whilst the adult reading can appreciate the book, I personally found the storyline to be a bit complex for young children (toddlers and early primary). The illustrations are lovely and it's got a nice Australian storyline, but it doesn't get read very often at our house.
