Jimmy the Joey: The True Story of an Amazing Koala Rescue by Susan Kelly
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a fairly plain rendering of what I might have seen in one of Susan Kelly's films. The standard for a documentary book of an individual animal's life is pretty high by now. Sure, not all books have the production luxuries [b:Moonbird B95|12510885|Moonbird A Year on the Wind with the Great Survivor B95|Phillip M.

The story itself is a compelling rescue drama, so it was an interesting read and held together well as something worth spending time with. The back matter provided context as well as a nice varied list of other resources to look into.
