Perfect for growing families or as a baby shower gift. When Koala Lou’s mother becomes so busy that she forgets to tell her firstborn how much she loves her, Koala Lou enters the Bush Olympics, intending to win an event and her mother’s love all at one time. Filled with charming art and featuring a heartwarming story about family, read the classic that's been called, “a first-rate choice for bedtime, story hour, or reading aloud.”--The Horn Book.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780152000769","publication_date":"19940228","publisher":"HarperCollins","slug":"koala-lou","subtitle":"Paperback – Picture Book, February 28, 1994","title":"Koala Lou"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JUV002350","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Kangaroo Stories","score":0.8029,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV013040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"New Baby Stories","score":0.7879,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV017150","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Mother's Day","score":0.7862,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JUV002350","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Kangaroo Stories","score":0.8029,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV013040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"New Baby Stories","score":0.7879,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV017150","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Mother's Day","score":0.7862,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JUV002000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Animal Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV002370","confidence_band":"high","label":"Baby Animals","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV010000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Bedtime & Dreams","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV013040","confidence_band":"high","label":"New Baby Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV013060","confidence_band":"high","label":"Parent-Child Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV032000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sports & Recreation / General","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV032040","confidence_band":"high","label":"Games","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV032180","confidence_band":"high","label":"Cycling Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Kangaroo Stories","score":0.8029,"slug":"kangaroo-stories"},{"label":"New Baby Stories","score":0.7879,"slug":"new-baby-stories"},{"label":"Mother's Day","score":0.7862,"slug":"mother-s-day"}],"reader_fit":["Families adjusting to a new sibling","Adults seeking a bedtime or read-aloud picture book"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Eric Carle"],"book_id":"9780064436427","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780064436427.jpg?v=1934aa55f5b39c44","score":0.7465,"title":"Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too?","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780064436427"},{"authors":["Tiya Hall"],"book_id":"9781680524536","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781680524536.jpg?v=79f2c2933e9f7d23","score":0.7244,"title":"Mommy and Me","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781680524536"},{"authors":["Keiko Kasza"],"book_id":"9780698113640","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780698113640.jpg?v=328bf04cb0361e4d","score":0.7228,"title":"A Mother for Choco","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780698113640"},{"authors":["Suzanne Lang"],"book_id":"9780553499384","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780553499384.jpg?v=db5ba61677242b7c","score":0.7227,"title":"Families, Families, Families!","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780553499384"},{"authors":["Frané Lessac"],"book_id":"9781536215274","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781536215274.jpg?v=9696767bf5ce6add","score":0.7216,"title":"Australian Baby Animals","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781536215274"},{"authors":["Kate Banks"],"book_id":"9780399554094","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780399554094.jpg?v=eaddc882d48dad74","score":0.72,"title":"Pup and Bear","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780399554094"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:fantasy"],"label":"Fantasy","score":0.1342,"slug":"fantasy"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:love"],"label":"Love","score":0.0749,"slug":"love"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:animals"],"label":"Animals","score":0.0688,"slug":"animals"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:sports books"],"label":"Sports","score":0.0679,"slug":"sports"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Family love, Adjusting to a new sibling.","Story elements: Competing for a parent's affection.","Themes: Fantasy, Love, Animals."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Families adjusting to a new sibling","Adults seeking a bedtime or read-aloud picture book"],"themes":["Family love","Adjusting to a new sibling"],"tropes":["Competing for a parent's affection"]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":726,"goodreads_ratings_count":2132,"goodreads_reviews_count":218,"quality_score":0.943}}
