Stories by Charles Verral and others. A funny-animal/superhero hybrid from Toby Press, as an adorable koala presses his "magic button" when danger threatens and gains superpowers. (Kokey's comic career was short-lived in America, but lasted longer in koala-friendly Australia.) Kokey must use the magic button while baby-sitting Jack and Mac. Donny Boy wants a canoe, but his dad isn't sure that's the best idea. Splashy the Platypus - one of the few platypus funny-animal characters, strangely enough - seeks the perfect sport for his unique abilities. Kokey Koala and his Magic Button; Home is Where You Find It; Splashy the Platypus: Play Day; Donny Boy; Patrick OReilly. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
