Review Quotes
"A humorous take on the mating behavior of an amusing koala. Like humans, animals have a natural need for friendship and companionship. Royal Baysinger has created quite an engaging character, and much like human beings, Kasanova experiences matchmaking as a hit-and-miss affair. You feel sorry for this little guy but you will find his initial lack of experience and judgement hilarious. The adorable single-page watercolor illustrations by Tamzon Olmstead are impressive, memorable, fun, and delightfully detailed, making them play an important role when it comes to showing the bigger picture and keeping pace with Kasanova's mate-searching adventure. The language is simple, making it a worthwhile read-along book for the younger reader because of its humor and bright illustrations." - Carmen Tenorio for Readers' Favorite.
