# I Don't Like Koala - Hardcover

by **Sean Ferrell** (Author), **Charles Santoso** (Illustrator)

**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.
