There's a book that was my favourite book as a child and i can't remember the name of it but would love for my children to read it. I remember loving the story and pictures especially.
It's about a koala teddy that's found in a rubbish dump and is in bad condition and lovingly repaired.
I remember it has beautiful pictures on every page that are surrounded by circles of flowers and butterflys.
My siblings all remember the book but none of us can remember the name 🤦🏼‍♀️
I was born in 1991 and my dad remembers the book was from a charity shop so we don't know how old the book was.
I've tried Googling all sorts to try find it but nothing ☹️ does anyone remember a book like this?

  2. Koala and the Flower by Mary Murphy
  3. Bobby Rubbernose: A Story About a Little Koala Bear Who Lost Himself and Was Found Again by Timothy Kay

Hope you find it!
