I found all three of these at the Arivaca Library on 10/17/14. The two librarians there turned me on to Mary Murphy.
Koala and the Flower
2001 Roaring Brook Press
HC & price
28 pgs (I wonder if the end pages might have been pulled out?
Goodreads rating:
My rating: 4.5
Badger and Raccoon see things n black and white. They are always sure they are right. Little gray Koala isn't sure about many things. She asks lots of questions.
What a clever book - and it has all sorts of atrributes! Two pages of "graphic novel." The appearance of a LIBRARY and BOOKS! Two supposed friends who are subtle bullies. The excitement of watching plants (flowers! grow from seeds with just a tiny bit of nurturing. SO much to take in - and all of it was wonderful.

I like it when
you hold my hand
you let me help (thank you)
we eat new things (surprise)
we play peekaboo (b00)
you tickle me
you dance with me
you read to me
you hug me tight
we splash about
we kiss goodnight

endpapers: loud and cool - cows and cucks and chiks.
"A dog hello is licky and loud..." (turn a half page and see what is described - "a cat hello is prissy and proud"
Such a vibrant story - both in illustrations AND plot. I'm not a huge animal person, but the front and back endpapers are just wonderful.
