The Quest for the Tree Kangaroo: An Expedition to the Cloud Forest of New Guinea by Montgomery, Sy

A 2007 Sibert Honor Book

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.
