Product Description
It looks like a bear, but isn't one. It climbs trees as easily as a monkey?
but isn't a monkey, either. It has a belly pocket like a kangaroo,
but what's a kangaroo doing up a tree? Meet the amazing
Matschie's tree kangaroo, who makes its home in the ancient trees
of Papua New Guinea's cloud forest. And meet the amazing scientists
who track these elusive animals.

Quest for the Tree Kangaroo--Its not just for kids! June 15, 2007

I received this book from a thoughtful, loving, and dear kindred spirit of a friend and while it is being marketed as a children's book, I found that it was just as wonderful as an animal lover's or even a conservationists' (organic-free trade-decaffeinated) coffee table book. Nic Bishop's up close and personal photography is beyond any Life Magazine or National Geo quality color photos. Sy Montgomery's writing takes the reader along on the expedition with all the science, language and even a bit of humor provided in part by the guides. Montgomery has created a fun book for kids and adults alike! A great gift for high school graduates to inspire them to follow their dreams and passions. For kid's, this would make a cake science report book!
beautiful book, fascinating creature! April 12, 2007
